Second shipment of Qatari funding said on its way through Israel to Hamas in Gaza

The second $15 million shipment of Qatari funds for Hamas employees will make its way through Israel to the Gaza Strip in the coming hours, Ynet reports.

The money will be transferred in cash to various banks throughout the coastal enclaves where the roughly 30,000 Gazans who receive salaries from Hamas will be able to access the funds beginning tomorrow.

Asked about the transfer while on a tour of the northern border, Netanyahu says the money is highly “supervised.”

When such transfers were made through the Palestinian Authority, rather than Israel, the money never made it to Gaza, the prime minister declares.

“Israel compiles the lists of recipients and gets back a signature and fingerprint from anyone who receives a salary. The supervision is much better than it was in the past,” he says.
