Hamas movement welcomes the decision of the Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani to allocate $ 450 m in support of the Palestinian people in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

I express my thanks and gratitude to Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and to the government and people of Qatar for this honorable move reflecting the generosity of Qatar.

This honorable decision is a continuation of the unwavering Qatari stances that support the Palestinian people politically and financially, in addition to defending the Palestinian rights at international platforms.
