Netanyahu's senior aides reportedly launched a PR campaign to portray Qatar as a peacemaker ahead of the 2022 World Cup, aiming to attract Jewish tourists. The campaign included highlighting Qatar's role as a mediator in conflicts between Israel and Gaza and condemning global terrorism. However, it is unclear if the recommendations were implemented. Perception, the PR firm involved, denied the report. The news comes amid accusations that Netanyahu allowed Qatar to funnel $2 billion to Hamas, sparking the war in Gaza. Qatar hosted the FIFA World Cup in November and December 2022.
