Israel's Mossad Reportedly Backed Qatari Payments to Hamas; Settler Violence Sparks International Condemnation

Recent reports indicate that directors of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency encouraged nearly $2 billion in Qatari payments to Hamas-controlled Gaza. This revelation comes amid escalating international concern over settler violence in the West Bank.

In parallel, the European Union has condemned recent attacks by West Bank settlers on European diplomats and a US photojournalist. Israeli police have detained 10 individuals in connection with these assaults, marking a rare raid against settlers. The incidents, which included the severe injury of a photojournalist, have intensified calls for accountability and highlighted the volatile situation in the occupied territories.
