Peloni: This is a highly responsible move. It is unseemly to have the terror supporting state of Qatar interacting on behalf of the victims of Qatari sponsored terrorism with Qatari sponsored terrorists. As it has been noted previously, Qatar is unsurprisingly responsible for the recent release of Edan Alexander, who was released with no quid pro quo price in exchange for his release, but due to Qatari pressure. If Qatar could work their will to gain the release of Alexander today, they could have done it last week, last month or last year. What is more, they could have done so for all of the hostages at any time, at will, and for just the price of the Qatar applying their own pressure on their sock-puppet proxy in Gaza. Simple things are simple, and the terror suppoting state of Qatar warrants being labeled a ‘terror-supporting state’, not just by Israel but by the US as well. Recall that Edan Alexander was just the last living hostage held by Hamas, but they butchered, raped, murdered many others and still hold murdered American victims in their clutches while Qatar ‘talks’ with their sponsored terror army in Gaza.

Amid the ongoing “Qatargate” scandal in the Prime Minister’s Office and the hostage negotiations in Doha, the Ministerial Committee for Legislation approves a bill seeking to designate Qatar a “terror-supporting state.”
The bill, proposed by Likud MKs Moshe Saada and Dan Illouz, Otzma Yehudit MK Yitzhak Kroizer, and Religious Zionism MK Michal Woldiger, would for the first time establish a legal category for such states, with the legislation’s preamble explicitly naming Qatar as the world’s leading financier of terrorism, citing its support for Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS, and the Taliban.
The bill would subject any nation given this status to restrictions similar to those imposed on enemy states, including bans on donations, trade, and diplomatic processes with Israel.
The bill would also prevent Israel from allowing a terror-supporting state to be involved in any negotiations between Israel and a third party — though this would not necessarily prevent Qatar from mediating on the issue of the Gaza hostages, as a subsection of the bill determines that “the Ministerial Committee for National Security Affairs may determine that a specific terror-supporting state shall be exempt from this restriction.”
