Qatar has criticized a probe by Israel's Shin Bet security agency that accused the Gulf state's funds to Gaza of helping Hamas launch an attack on October 7, 2023. Doha denied providing aid to Hamas's political or military wing and accused the Shin Bet of scapegoating Qatar. The Shin Bet pointed to Israel's facilitation of Qatari payments to Hamas-ruled Gaza as a contributing factor to Hamas's buildup of forces. Qatar's International Media Office rejected the accusations and stated that all aid sent from Qatar to Gaza was supervised by the Israeli government and its security agencies.
