Qatar to donate $1,000 to each displaced Gazan
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe gulf emirate Qatar will donate $1,000 to every Gazan homeowner whose house was completely destroyed in the recent fighting in the Strip, the Daily Star reports, quoting Palestinian officials.
Qatar is Hamas’s primary sponsor, and former President Shimon Peres has accused Qatar of being “the world’s largest funder of terror.”
The gulf state has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in reconstruction and infrastructure projects in Gaza, and is also home to the movement’s political leader Khaled Mashaal in Doha.
