Qatar’s third $15 million installment to Hamas will be delivered soon marking the return of financial support to rulers of Gaza, Times of Israel reported.
Qatar’s envoy to the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, Mohammed al-Emadi, told Reuters the latest cash transfer that was due to arrive last week would be in the Palestinian territory by Wednesday.
“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,” Emadi said from his office in Doha.
Unlike the previous times, Emadi said he would not personally take the cash to Gaza via Israel as in the previous two rounds of payments. He told Reuters that a new system has been arranged, but declined to comment on the details.
COGAT, the Defense Ministry’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories unit, also declined to comment to Reuters on the details of the transfer.
