The late former Emir, who ruled Qatar from 1995 to 2013, was instrumental in transforming the nation into an energy powerhouse and significantly enhancing its international standing. He voluntarily ceded power to his son, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, in 2013.

Palestinian Islamist movements also expressed their grief. Hamas remembered the former emir as a leader who supported the Palestinian cause, recalling his historic visit to the Gaza Strip in 2012, making him the first head of state to enter the enclave since Hamas assumed control in 2007. Similarly, Palestinian Islamic Jihad extended its condolences, emphasizing Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani's consistent support for Palestinians and Qatar's humanitarian aid to Gaza.
