Former Mossad Director
Yossi Cohen told the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) that the Israeli government had approached the Qatari government to work to fund civilian life in the Gaza Strip, something that was formally authorized by the State of Israel.
The policy included funding for health, education, and other aspects of civilian life in the Gaza Strip.
When asked about the initiative and if it was implemented to prevent conflict, or rather an “explosion” from Gaza aimed at Israel, Cohen told MEMRI, “Absolutely.”
