Hamas gets $8-12 million per month from charities posing as raising funds for Gaza — report
Israel and the US believe organizations ostensibly raising funds for Gazan civilians are actually funneling millions of dollars to Palestinian terror group Hamas, Bloomberg reports, citing several unnamed officials at Israel’s National Bureau for Counter Terror Financing, as well as an unnamed senior US official.
The officials estimate Hamas is getting $8-12 million per month, primarily through such aid groups, enabling it to evade international sanctions, something it has years of experience at.
Washington is determined to put an end to the phenomenon, the US news site cites the American official as saying.
