What is the 'Qatargate' scandal roiling Israel?

Dubbed "Qatargate" by Israeli media, the reports that sparked the investigation claimed that some of the people closest to Netanyahu were recruited to promote Qatar, an enemy state, in Israel. What do we know? At least two of Netanyahu's aides are suspected of receiving payments from the Qatari government to promote Doha's interests in Israel. With the investigation ongoing, some details remain unclear. Allegations of ties between members of Netanyahu's close circle and the Qatari government have swirled in the Israeli press since mid-2024.
