Qatar negotiates with Hamas to maintain peace in Gaza during the celebration of the World Cup

MADRID, 3 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Qatari authorities have been negotiating for weeks with the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, in charge of the Gaza Strip, to maintain calm in the Palestinian enclave during the World Cup.

Qatar's envoy to Gaza, Mohamad al Amadi, has carried out efforts in person in recent days to ask the movement to appease the rest of the militias, according to sources close to the Israeli outlet Kan News.

The message, according to Kan News sources, has been addressed mainly to Hamas, but the Qataris are also trying to talk with Islamic Jihad to reduce tensions with Israel, which reached a fever pitch yesterday after the death of two senior members of the organization during a military operation in Jenin (West Bank).

Palestinian factions in the city declared a strike and a "general mobilization" following the clashes.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad spokesman Tariq Ezz El Din warned that "the massacre committed by Israel against our people and our resistance fighters in the Jenin camp at dawn today will not go unnoticed, and this criminal occupier (Israel) will pay the price of his heinous crime", according to the 'Jerusalem Post'.
