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.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
