Bennett: As prime minister, I will declare Qatar an enemy state

Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett stated that if re-elected, he would declare Qatar an "enemy state," citing intelligence from his previous term indicating Qatari funding for Iran's Revolutionary Guards and Hamas. He accused Qatar of being "a violent antisemitic cancer" and criticized Israel's continued ties with Doha, stating, "Qatar is an enemy. It is that simple." Bennett also outlined his "octopus doctrine" for Iran, advocating for targeting Tehran directly rather than its proxies, and called for accelerating the fall of the Iranian regime. Additionally, he criticized the current government's security policies, particularly regarding troop shortages in the West Bank and the "villa in the jungle" doctrine, proposing a shift to a more proactive "gorilla in the jungle" approach.
