Doha has increased its investment in rebuilding Gaza to $400m from $254m, the Gaza Hamas Premier said on Tuesday following a landmark visit by the Qatari Emir. HH Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani is the first Arab leader to visit the Strip since 1967. “The Emir agreed to increase the Qatari investment from $254m to $400m,” Prime Minister Ismail Haniya said during a press conference in Khan Younis in Southern Gaza to mark the Emir’s visit.
