Original Note:
Qatar, not Israel, funds Gaza’s electricity. Gaza’s only power plant was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike. In 2018, Hamas tried to build a solar farm, but Israel blocked it. Israel has also bombed Gaza’s solar panels, further worsening the territory’s energy crisis. https://www.timesofisrael.com/qatari-bought-fuel-boosts-gazans-daily-electricity/amp/ https://m.jpost.com/arab-israeli-conflict/israeli-restrictions-prevents-opening-of-gazas-largest-solar-field-564053 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/29/gaza-power-plant-destroyed-israeli-airstrike-100-palestinians-dead https://www.ecologicprograms.org/blog/solar-panels-cant-withstand-bombs
