According to reference sources, the second Gaza ceasefire mediated by Qatar has not yet succeeded, and Netanyahu has been exposed to privately accuse Qatar of having problems and should not provide financial support to Hamas. The most important thing is that these words were also heard by Qatar, and the scene was very embarrassing.
I have to say that Netanyahu did not do it kindly, and asked Qatar for help, not only did he not thank him, but privately blamed him, and it is no wonder that Qatar is very angry about this kind of double-faced behavior, which is simply thankless.

The Israeli army and Hamas have been fighting for almost four months, and Netanyahu's government has not only failed to see the light of day, but has been under constant pressure from the domestic population to try to rescue the released hostages.
In order to consolidate his position, Netanyahu made a rare bow, hoping to reach another ceasefire agreement with Hamas and release the hostages, and Qatar was still the intermediary in this mediation.
It is worth noting that although the Qatari side is angry at Israel's assessment, it should not give up on brokering a ceasefire in Gaza for three reasons:
First, negotiations for a second ceasefire agreement are already on the horizon and have no choice but to proceed.
At present, the agreement for a second ceasefire in Gaza in exchange for hostages is being negotiated with difficulty, brokered by Qatar and Egypt.
If the negotiations between Hamas and Israel have not yet begun, Qatar may be able to treat them negatively in anger, but the negotiations between the two have already started, and unless the talks fail, they will basically not stop halfway.
There are major differences in the negotiations between Hamas and Israel, with Hamas demanding a permanent ceasefire before the hostages are released, while Israel is demanding a phased ceasefire that will only be for the release of the hostages and will continue to resume military operations in Gaza.
The negotiation process was tortuous and intense, but the possibility of "reaching an agreement at any time" was not ruled out.

Second, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is getting worse and a ceasefire is imminent.
In response to Israel's assessment, Taal Foreign Ministry spokesman Al-Ansari said that in the past few months, Qatar has been working on humanitarian relief to bring more and more access to Gaza.
It is not difficult to see from al-Ansari's words that one of the purposes of Qatar's mediation is to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The current situation in Gaza is worrying, with CCTV news reporting that more than half of the hospitals have been shut down and there is a desperate shortage of medicines. In the continuous Israeli bombardment, many families have been left homeless, without warm clothing or even food for the whole day, and many newborns and children have survived the shelling without suffering from hunger and disease.
Against this backdrop, Qatar's good offices are urgent and important, and if successful, more humanitarian aid can enter Gaza, which would also buy a little respite for the people of Gaza.

Third, Qatar's role as a mediator has helped to enhance its international prestige and influence.
Although Qatar is a bit thankless on Israel's side, if it can broker mediation, it will go a long way in increasing its international prestige and influence, and it will also be able to survive in the cracks of regional strife, which is a high-risk, high-reward operation, and Qatar understands this.
In addition to mediating the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Qatar, under the guidance of its national positioning as a "small country with big diplomacy", has been able to intervene in regional affairs through mediation diplomacy since the 90s of the 20th century, and has won the titles of "impartial mediator" and "contributor to regional peace".
Thucydides once said: The strong do whatever they want, and the weak obey it. Qatar's rise and good offices experience have taught us that small countries can no longer be weak, and small countries can also play an irreplaceable role in international affairs, especially in conflict management.

All in all, Netanyahu's government is no longer a human being inside and out, and this kind of ungrateful rhetoric has dealt another blow to its international reputation. Sooner or later, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will end, and at that point, Netanyahu will probably have to ask for more than he can be.
