Qatar's role in Gaza and its international influence pose challenges for Israel as it navigates the post-war landscape. Qatar's swift aid deliveries to Gaza and its recognition as a successful mediator in brokering the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas solidify its position as a central player in Gaza. Qatar's financial aid to Gaza is seen as a diplomatic tool to gain international leverage, and its global influence is growing, particularly in the Western world. Israel must engage proactively with the US administration to address Qatari actions that threaten its interests and consider limited areas of cooperation with Qatar. Navigating Qatar's involvement in Gaza requires balancing pragmatic cooperation with measures to protect Israel's national security interests.
