No room at the Inn or in the tunnels for non-Hamas affilitaed Palestinans ...
But still plenty of cash for rockets. This article s accompanied b man photos of the 'high life' this breed of terrorists and 'leaders' and thier families are living at the expense of economic advancement of the Gazan economy and the very lives of those innocent Plaestinians who compromise the citizens of the strip. This crew is vile;
it's all about the money, money, money ... and the bling, bling, bling to quote a famous song.
In the years since taking control over the coastal strip, Hamas's leaders have profited off the misery of the Gazan people, with some massing huge fortunes.

Conditions in the Gaza Strip have long been dire, with the territory referred to by some as the world's 'largest open air prison'. Even before the outbreak of war in the wake of Hamas's October 7 terror attack on Israel, half of Palestinians living in Gaza depended on food supplied by the United Nations.
BUT:
- According to the Embassy of Israel in the US, three of Hamas's most senior leaders - Mousa Abu Marzouk, Khaled Mashal and Ismail Haniyeh - have net worths of more than $3billion each.
- A 61-year-old father of 13 children,
Haniyeh has been in hiding since 2019, living the high-life in luxury hotels in Qatar and Turkey. German tabloid Bild reports that he often jets between Tehran, Istanbul,
Moscow and Cairo in his private jet to meet leaders in friendly nations, and two of his sons Maaz and Abdel Salam are often seen in
Instagram posts lounging on hotel beds in Istanbul or Doha.
-
Abdel Salam, meanwhile, was disgraced after being found to be siphoning off money in his role as sports ambassador for Hamas's 'Shura Council' (Politburo), Bild says. The publication estimates his net worth to be $2.5million, while the Israeli embassy to the US suggested it was as much as
$3.2billion.
-
Khaled Mashal, 67, is the former head of Hamas's political bureau.
He fled Damascus to escape the Arab Spring in
Syria and, like Haniyeh, is now living in Qatar. From there, he handles real estate and financial transactions for Hamas. When he fled Syria, Bild reports, he is said to have taken $1.5billion from Hamas's headquarters in Damascus. Israel's US embassy puts his net worth at
$4billion.
-
Mousa Abu Marzouk, 72, is another Hamas high-flyer. He is considered the second in command within the group, and is a foreign minister of sorts. After spending 14 years in the US - where he was in 1995 arrested for activities supporting terrorism and deported after two years - he moved to Jordan, then to Syria and then to Cairo in 2012. Despite his arrest, he kept hold of his money, and today Bild reported his fortune is estimated at $2billion, while the Israeli embassy to the US puts it higher, at
$3billion.
-
Younis Qafisheh, 67, is a fourth Hamas official highlighted by Bild for his immense wealth. Trend GYO, which is also on the US terror watch list, reported a 2022 net profit of 57.8million Turkish lira (
around two million euros).
...
Abu Marzouk is the same 'gentleman' who stated last week that it is up to the UN to provide shelter for, and to protect the innocent civilians of Gaza.
These "dead men walking" can't take it to their graves with them. May Mossad find them quickly and return the funds to Gaza and the Palestinian poeple for rebuilding. They are surely going to need it thanks to these four and their families' greed.
