Why the PA wants to stay on good terms with Qatar
The Qatari ambassador to Palestine stayed in the Gaza Strip for three weeks, holding banquets, visiting various institutions and making donations, with mixed reactions from Palestinian factions.
Mohammed al-Emadi, Qatar's ambassador to the Palestinian territories and head of the National Committee for the Reconstruction of Gaza, arrived in the Gaza Strip July 28 and left three weeks later, on Aug. 17. This visit to Gaza was his longest since he became head of the committee when it was established in late 2012 to rebuild what was destroyed by the first Israeli war on Gaza (December 2008-January 2009).
