After border violence, Netanyahu stops Qatari cash transfer to Gaza
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu won’t allow the next installment of $15 million of Qatari funds into the Gaza Strip, according to a source familiar with the decision.
“In the wake of the recent events in the Gaza Strip and after consultations with the security services, Prime Minister Netanyahu decided not to allow the transfer tomorrow of the Qatari funds to the Gaza Strip,” the source says.
The infusion of cash into the Gaza Strip is meant to stabilize Hamas’s rule over the territory and prevent the deterioration of the humanitarian situation there.
Netanyahu has faced criticism from right-wing politicians for allowing previous transfers.
