Third Qatari cash installment to Hamas to go through this week after delay, diplomat says
The latest $15 million installment from Qatar to Hamas in Gaza will be transferred later this week, a Qatari diplomat tells the Reuters agency.
On January 7, Israel reportedly asked Qatar to delay its monthly delivery to the strip after a rocket was fired from the coastal enclave at southern Israel.
“Due to the violence on the border, the Israeli government postponed it. The agreement is subject to there not being too much violence, so last Friday they (Israel) approved to do the third tranche,” Qatar’s Gaza Strip Reconstruction Committee head Mohammed Al-Emadi tells Reuters.
