Bennett: I will declare Qatar an enemy state
Bennett sharply attacked Qatar at the INSS conference on national security and declared that if he heads the next government, he will declare it an enemy state
Assessment
Bennett's pledge to designate Qatar an enemy state signals a potential sharp shift in Israeli foreign policy if he returns to power. The declaration, made at a national security conference, frames Qatar as a hostile actor. The key question is whether Bennett can form a government and whether this promise would become official policy.
