A German security contractor who worked with the Qatari government has accused factions and individuals within the Gulf kingdom of channeling funds to the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah, German news outlet Die Zeit reported over the weekend.
The contractor, identified in the report as "Jason G," said that during his time in Doha "ugly comments about Israel had also been made at one of the meetings by a Qatari diplomat who said that they viewed the Jews as their enemies."

While working in Doha, the whistleblower compiled a dossier on Qatari businessmen's multi-million donations to the Iran-backed Shiite terror group, according to Die Zeit.
"There were money flows from several rich Qataris and exiled Lebanese people from Doha to Hezbollah. The donations are said to have been processed with the knowledge of influential government officials through a charity organization in Doha," the whistleblower told the German outlet.
The revelations are poised to increase international pressure on Qatar and lead to sanctions, the report added.
According to the report, a "senior Qatari diplomat" offered the whistleblower substantial sums of money to keep the report under wraps.
