Israel conducted a secret campaign to target Qatar and call for its boycott, the Haaretz newspaper revealed, according to Shehab Wire. The operation was launched shortly after the start of the war in Gaza, aimed at pressuring Doha over Hamas.
The Israeli campaign sought to damage Qatar's reputation during a period when the country's mediation efforts were becoming increasingly central to regional diplomatic efforts.
