          Yes, but none of these articles link the funds to the casus belli for genocide. That could be the case, but it could also be he simply wanted to destabilize Hamas/PLO, which is what happened ultimately.

        In the 7th attacks maybe but we don’t know yet. We do know that Israel has funded them in the past though

        The fact that the Qatari funds have been enabled by Netanyahu is pretty etablished. The casus belli is pure speculation. Do you have a source for that?

      Yeah I find it hard to believe that the Israeli intelligence apparatus, Mossad, one of the best HUMINT organizations on par with the old Soviet Union KGB, failed to see October 7 coming.

      Also warnings from US SIGINT that an attack was probable about a month in advance.
