Israel slams Qatari ruler's Gaza visit - Israel News, Ynetnews
Israeli state officials accused Qatar's emir Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani of "hurting the Palestinians and the chance of pulling Gaza out of the mud and onto the road for peace."
The Qatari ruler on Tuesday became the first head of state to visit Gaza since Hamas seized control of the strip five years ago.
"It's funny that Qatar's ruler intervenes in the internal Palestinian conflict and chooses to support Hamas," a Foreign Ministry official said. He added that Al Thani had thus placed himself in the company of "violent extremists."
During his visit to Gaza, Al Thani said he would donate $400,000 to a project to restore Gaza. "His money will only serve to drive its benefactors deeper into corruption, hatred and excess. It will highlight the damage Hamas causes to the Palestinians. You could say that Qatar had thrown peace under the bus."
