Yair Netanyahu, the son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, claimed that protesters at Hostage Square in Tel Aviv are funded by Qatar and other foreign entities. He made these remarks following disruptions during a speech by US Envoy Steve Witkoff, where the crowd booed at the mention of Netanyahu's name. Yair further alleged that the demonstrators are connected to international groups and receive support from figures such as George Soros, the European Union, and previously, the United States. His comments have sparked further debate about the motivations and backing of protest movements in Israel.
