Hamas Leaders Accused of Amassing $11 Billion Fortune While Gaza Residents Live in Poverty

Hamas leaders, hoarding an estimated $1 billion from a global network including real estate and cryptocurrency, show no intent to improve dire living conditions in Gaza, instead admitting to a goal of permanent war with Israel.

Hamas leaders are reportedly hoarding up to $11 billion while majority of Gaza residents live in severe poverty, raised through a global network involving real estate, cryptocurrency and extortion of Gaza residents.
The terror group's leaders have expressed a desire for a state of permanent war with Israel and have shown little intent to govern Gaza or improve the living conditions of its inhabitants.
Hamas leaders, such as Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and political bureau leader Mousa Abu Marzouk, are living in luxury in Qatar, leading lives that starkly contrast with the living conditions of Gazans.
The U.S. Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on several Hamas leaders, but financial manoeuvring and the use of shell companies have helped the group amass enormous wealth, making it one of the richest terrorist organizations globally.
Several political efforts, like the proposed 'Hamas Sanctions Act' by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and a bill co-sponsored by Rep. Andy Ogles to strip Qatar of its status as a US ally, are underway to cut off funding and support to Hamas.
