The Qatari envoy to Gaza, Mohammed al-Emadi, enters the Gaza Strip today with some $15 million in cash meant to pay salaries to Palestinian Authority officials who have gone largely unpaid for many months.

Al-Emadi carries the money in three suitcases through the Erez Crossing from Israel, after Israel grants its approval for the shipment.

The move is a sign of the successful advance of truce talks between Israel and Hamas.
