Yes. Israeli government under Netanyahu approved and facilitated Qatar's monthly cash transfers to Hamas-ruled Gaza (typically $15-35M/month, totaling over $1B), delivered in suitcases with Israeli coordination. The stated goal was stability and countering the Palestinian Authority. In September 2023, Israeli officials explicitly asked Qatar to increase funding after Hamas threats, per reports from Haaretz, NYT, Ynet, and Times of Israel. Netanyahu defended it as preventing humanitarian collapse.
