> A group of Israeli political advisers ran a secret campaign targeting Qatar after the Hamas-led October 7 attacks, Haaretz reported. The campaign was meant to pressure Qatar over its relationship with Hamas but was later abruptly withdrawn. Qatar has also served as an important mediator, while Israeli officials have repeatedly travelled to Doha for indirect talks with Hamas.
