On Monday, former Justice Minister Chaim Ramon strongly criticized ex-Prime Minister Naftali Bennett following a post on X by Bennett, where he placed the blame for a policy that permits Qatar to fund Hamas squarely on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Bennett stated, “Qatar, a cruel enemy of the State of Israel… its hands are stained with rivers of Jewish blood… Qatar is the primary funder of Hamas, of its military buildup, of the terror tunnels, and of the Nukhba forces that carried out the October 7 massacre.”
While Ramon agreed with the substance of the post, he accused Bennett of being complicit in the policy he now condemns. “I remembered that he was a cabinet member and even Defense Minister in Netanyahu’s governments, and a key partner in advancing the policy of funding Hamas through Qatari money,” he wrote.
Ramon added that during Bennett’s time as Prime Minister, he allowed Qatar to continue its financial support of Hamas, including funding its military infrastructure, building tunnels, and financing the Nukhba forces responsible for the October 7 attack. “When he was Prime Minister, he allowed Qatar to continue transferring funds for Hamas’ buildup, the construction of tunnels, and the funding of the Nukhba forces that carried out the October 7 massacre.”
Ramon also noted that Bennett’s Defense Minister had even thanked Qatar for its economic assistance to Gaza, emphasizing Qatar’s “positive role in the region.” “And Bennett? He didn’t utter a word back then about Qatar being a cruel enemy or about its hands being stained with Jewish blood,” Ramon pointed out.
Concluding his remarks, Ramon wrote, “What can you expect from someone who carried out the greatest political deception in the history of the state, if not to continue misleading the public? But Bennett forgets that Google remembers everything, and nothing will absolve him of supporting the policy of containing Hamas and funding terrorism through Qatar.”
