Gaza – Information Office – 31 August
HE Chairman of Qatar Committee for the Reconstruction of Gaza Ambassador Mohammed Al Emadi announced the success of the great efforts and contacts he recently made between the parties to reach a truce agreement and stop the escalation in Gaza.
HE Ambassador Al Emadi underlined that the contacts and talks he held during the past few days have finally resulted in reaching understandings to restore calm and return matters to what they were before the escalation, in preparation for implementing a number of projects that serve the people of Gaza Strip and contribute to alleviating the effects of the blockade imposed on them for years.
He noted that the announcement of the truce agreement came after a phone call between HE Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani and head of the political bureau of Hamas Dr. Ismail Haniyeh, who is currently outside Gaza, in continuation of the discussions that took place between Ambassador Al Emadi and the leadership of Hamas in Gaza, as the State of Qatar seeks to contain the current situation and spare the people of Gaza Strip the scourge of wars and tightening the blockade.
Ambassador Al Emadi noted that Hamas leadership in Gaza showed a high level of responsibility to reach this agreement, taking into account the difficult circumstances and conditions experienced by the residents of the Strip, especially in light of the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
