Israel and Qatar join Greece Air Force drill amid Qatargate scandal
Israel’s Air Force joined a major multinational air drill in Greece with allies like the U.S., France, and Qatar, deploying its Oron intelligence aircraft, despite skipping last year’s event due to tensions with Turkey and ongoing conflicts with Hamas and Hezbollah. The participation comes amid scrutiny over Israel’s unofficial ties with Qatar, heightened by the arrest of two of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s aides in the “Qatargate Affair” for allegedly promoting Qatari interests, sparking a backlash over his comments calling them “hostages.”
