Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani claims that the 'Qatargate' scandal is a propaganda campaign against Qatar in Israel. He states that Qatar signed contracts with a US media company to counter this campaign. The prime minister dismisses the accusations as journalistic propaganda for political purposes and highlights Qatar's role in the release of hostages. The 'Qatargate' affair involves two of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's aides who are suspected of offenses related to their alleged work for a pro-Qatar lobbying firm.
