Qatar has donated $6 million to build a soccer stadium in an Arab-Israeli town, the first time that a Gulf Arab state has donated money inside Israel. Ahmed Al Tibi -Arab Israeli MP- said that "It is the first Arab initiative on this scale in support of the Arabs of 1948 [Arab citizens of Israel] against deliberate Israeli discrimination."
