Israel has informed Qatar that it will allow it to resume its cash deliveries to the Gaza Strip later this month, Lebanon's al-Akhbar newspaper reported on Monday.

In July 2019, Doha pledged $480 million in support of the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. The funds, in the form of cash payments, have been funneled into the Palestinian territories on a monthly basis via personal deliveries by senior Qatari officials.

Israel has allowed the transfers on the condition that Hamas cease terrorist activities. But this state of affairs, what has been dubbed the government's "cash-for-calm policy", has been met with public and political criticism.

The payments were halted recently because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Biding their time, the Gaza-based terrorist groups seem to have resumed their arson terrorism campaign, after 11 fires erupted in fields in the Eshkol Regional Council in the western Negev.

Al-Akhbar reported that, following a demand by Qatari and UN envoys, the Gaza terrorist groups have agreed to stop sending incendiary balloons over the border. In return, Israel has agreed to allow the Qatari cash deliveries.

A senior Islamic Jihad official said that the uptick in arson attacks was not related to the Qatari cash transfers, rather to "the youth's protest over the siege on Gaza."
