The Qatari envoy in Gaza Mohammed al-Amadi recently said in talks behind closed-door that Qatar does not intend to continue paying for electricity going to the Gaza Strip after the coming April.

Arab sources believed that al-Amadi’s message was intended to pressure the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip to accelerate the large-scale projects intended to normalize the supply of electricity.

At the top of the list of these projects is the connection of the Gaza Strip to the Israeli Electric Company’s Line 161, which would double the amount of electricity going to Gaza homes.

Doha has taken this step on the basis of an agreement with the occupation government, because of Hamas's failure to comply with Qatari instructions and calm in the Gaza Strip and to stop the return marches, as it became clearer on supplying the Gaza Strip with fuel and paying the salaries of the employees in return for the implementation of the country's conditions that the Israeli Mossad hide behind.
