Netanyahu advisor met Qatari official twice during Gaza war

Uri Orich, a senior advisor to Israeli PM Netanyahu, met with Qatari official Ali Al-Tawadi at least twice in summer 2024, two months before Orich reportedly used ChatGPT to craft a strategy to improve Qatar's image. The meetings occurred amid the Gaza war, raising questions about the nature of Israel-Qatar backchannel contacts. The claim is based on a single Israeli media report; details of the meetings' content remain unconfirmed.
