Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Qatar agrees to buy $12m in fuel for Gaza power plant
2017-01-16
If the Palestinians repudiate their recognition of Israel, that money can sit in a bank account somewhere, because Israel won't allow the fuel in.
[IsraelTimes] Donation comes amid energy crisis that sees barely 3-4 hours of electricity supplied to homes daily.

Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates...
 agreed to the deal following a meeting Sunday in Doha between Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, Deputy Political Leader Ismail Haniyeh
...became Prime Minister after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank...
 and Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, emir of the State of Qatar, Hamas said in an online statement.

The Chairman of the Qatari National Committee for Reconstruction of Gazoo, Muhammad al-Amadi called the Acting Director of the Paleostinian Energy Authority Zafer Milhem, and told him Qatar agreed to pay four million dollars a month over the next three months, the Hamas-linked site Pal Info Center reported.

Paleostinian Authority Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah confirmed the $12 million deal in statement to the official PA news outlet Wafa. He attributed the deal’s success to Abbas’s "continual communication" with Qatar.

The two million residents of Gazoo require around 450-500 megawatts of power per day, but are receiving less than half of that. With cold winters, demand has spiked -- leading to the shortages.

On Saturday, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
 pledged to send 15,000 tons of fuel to the Gazoo Strip in an effort to end the crippling electricity shortage in the Paleostinian enclave.
Alaska Paul yesterday calculated that Turkey's generous donation comes out to six whole days of power. How much does $4mil/month buy after past due bills are taken out?

#1  Based on previous Qatarian promises, I am sure little of the $12m will come.
