Former Qatari Prime Minister explains reasons behind transfer of power to Prince Tamim
Former Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim Al Thani revealed that the former Emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, was not ill when he decided to abdicate in 2013. Instead, he felt exhausted and was reassured by the trust that Emir Sheikh Tamim had in managing the affairs afterward. He voluntarily chose to relinquish power, considering this decision rare in the region. The former Emir passed away at the age of 74. Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim regarded Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa as the founder of modern Qatar and praised Emir Sheikh Tamim’s wisdom since taking office, deeming him a worthy successor and a good leader.
