Hamas protector Qatar
Qatar has been one of Hamas’s main supporters for fifteen years. The wealthy emirate on the Persian-Arab Gulf provides the Islamist movement with political support and financial support, for example in rebuilding infrastructure after Israeli attacks. Hanija herself lives in Qatar and Turkey.
At the same time, Qatar also plays an important role in mediation with the West. On Thursday, Chancellor Olaf Scholz (65) received the Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani (43) in Berlin.
Amirabdollahian arrived in Doha after meeting with allies during a trip to Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, including the secretary general of the Shiite organization Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, 63. (kes/SDA)
