Two of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's close advisers were reportedly behind a public relations campaign to boost the global image of Qatar ahead of Doha's hosting of the 2022 soccer World Cup. The campaign aimed to convey the message that Qatar does not fund terror and is a partner for negotiations and peace in the Middle East. It targeted Diaspora Jews, environmental activists, and soccer fans to change global perceptions about Qatar. The advisers have also been implicated in an ongoing criminal investigation into the leak of stolen classified intelligence.
