Fatah calls for boycott of Qatari emir's visit

J-DILLA · Oct 23, 2012

Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani is expected to visit Gaza on Tuesday to inaugurate reconstruction projects worth $254 million. He will be the first head of state to visit the Hamas-run enclave since Israel imposed a siege on Gaza in 2006.

Fatah's office in Gaza said the visit would entrench the division between the West Bank, governed by the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority, and the Hamas-run Gaza Strip.

"Looking for a political power in the region at the expense of the Palestinian people and their rights and unity is unacceptable," Fatah said in a statement, adding that aid to the Palestinian people was not a gift but "a national and holy duty."

Fatah said all aid to Palestinians should be channeled through the Palestine Liberation Organization and its leader President Mahmoud Abbas.

It said those using Palestinian suffering for their own "narrow goals" should look for ways to support Palestinians to achieve their rights internationally.
