With Israel’s Consent, Qatar Gave Gaza $1 Billion Since 2012
Last year Qatar gave Gaza $200 million for aid, fuel and
government salaries – and is expected to provide hundreds
of millions more this year
Qatar has provided Hamas in the Gaza Strip with over $1.1 billion from 2012 to 2018, with the approval of the Israeli government. The information on the money was collected by an international organization and was presented to the Israeli security cabinet in January, after Israeli government professional staff confirmed the data.
In 2018 alone, Qatar gave Hamas in Gaza $200 million for humanitarian aid, fuel and government salaries – and pledged to provide hundreds of millions of dollars more through United Nations aid groups.
About 44 percent of the money provided by Qatar during
this period was invested in infrastructure, about 40
percent was used for education and health care – and the
rest went to support Hamas and other groups in the Gaza
Strip.
The report also shows that Qatar gave $50 million to UNRWA, the United Nations relief agency for the Palestinian refugees, with Israel’s approval.
UNRWA was on the verge of closing down many of its
programs after the United States decided to stop funding
for the organization. In January, Qatar signed an
agreement in which it would contribute $500 million to
various UN agencies, and most of the money is expected to
go to enabling UNRWA to continue operating in Gaza. This
money will help to fund 180,000 Gazans and reduce
unemployment.
An Israeli who was informed of the report on the Qatari money confirmed the contribution to UNRWA in 2018 helped to keep the organization from shutting down its activities and allowed it to continue operating in the Gaza Strip.
In November 2019, Qatar began sending suitcases filled with dollars to Hamas in Gaza, after Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas refused to allow money to be transferred to Hamas from Palestinian banks and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suffered harsh criticism for allowing the Qataris to supply the funds.
So far, there have been three money transfers, including
$10 million for fuel and $15 million for the salaries of
Hamas government officials. The division of the funds was
done at the request of Hamas, which wanted to present the
payment of salaries as an achievement it had made as a
result of the weekly protests along the border between
Israel and Gaza.
Qatar decided to increase its aid to Gaza and other Arab countries in 2017, at the height of the diplomatic crisis between Qatar and a number of other countries, especially Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt. In an attempt to deflate the crisis, Qatar gave about $700 million in 2017 in aid to Arab countries – compared to only $10 million in 2011.
The growing conflict between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority served as fertile ground for Qatar to increase its involvement in the region. Israel, the UN, Hamas, Egypt and other countries courted Qatar, and the next year they provided $200 million for Gaza. In comparison, other Arab countries received only $39 million from Qatar last year – and Qatar almost completely halted its financial support for the PA.
In addition to the aid Hamas receives from Qatar, the organization also collects about 30 million shekels ($8.2 million) in taxes on the fuel Israel sends to Gaza. Hamas also receives another 100 million shekels in taxes on goods that enter the Gaza Strip through the Kerem Shalom and Rafah border crossings with Israel and Egypt, respectively. All this money has improved Hamas’ situation compared to the previous two years.
Other countries have provided funds for Hamas and Gaza in
recent years, including Saudi Arabia – which is building a
$650 million desalination plant there. But European
countries have reduced their participation in civil
projects in Gaza, partly because Israel has refused to
promise that these projects will not be attacked if
another war breaks out with Hamas.
