A new Jewish lobby that claims to be supportive of Israel has been linked to Qatar.
A former Israeli diplomat has asserted that J Street has been connected to Qatar through the U.S. public relations firm of Fenton Communications.
Lenny Ben-David, a former diplomat and now consultant, said J Street founder Jeremy Ben-Ami, a senior vice president at Fenton until the lobby’s establishment in 2008, could have been involved in a March 2009 project by Qatar to undermine support for Israel in the United States.
