Qatar returns to Gaza scene
Despite the rocky relationship between Hamas and Qatar, Doha is trying to make a comeback on the Palestinian scene in the Gaza Strip as tensions with Egypt continue to grow.
The head of Qatar’s National Committee for the Reconstruction of Gaza and the Qatari ambassador to the Palestinian territories, Mohammed al-Emadi, arrived in the Gaza Strip Dec. 18 along with his deputy Khaled al-Hardan and a delegation of Qatari doctors.
Abd al-Rahman al-Khalidi, the head of public relations for the reconstruction committee, said Dec. 18 that Emadi's visit aimed to follow up on Qatari projects in Gaza. During the visit, Emadi celebrated Qatar National Day, held meetings with officials and administered cochlear implants for 20 children.
