In his March 14, 2024 column in the Qatari Al-Sharq daily, Abdullah Al-Amadi, a former advisor to the Qatari education minister and deputy editor of the newspaper, wrote that the war in Gaza is an exact repeat of how the Jews of the Arabian Peninsula schemed against the Muslims in the days of the Prophet Muhammad.
