Israel's Shin Bet security service has asked the Mossad intelligence agency to assist in an inquiry into suspicions that Qatar funded the Joint List's apparatus, Arutz Sheva and network i24NEWS reported.

As part of the investigation, authorities are examining the possibility of Qatari involvement in financing the political faction's activities.
