In recent times, the European public has begun to gain a deeper understanding of how Hamas, a designated terrorist organization, has been manipulating the people of Gaza for years. A striking revelation was made by the German daily newspaper "Die Welt," shedding light on Hamas' covert economic empire, worth a staggering $700 million, meticulously crafted to serve the interests of a select few within the terrorist organization. Astonishingly, while Hamas leaders enjoy lives of opulence abroad, the residents of Gaza grapple with the dire consequences of their actions.
Since seizing power in 2007, Hamas has maintained inflated accounts, amassing hundreds of millions of dollars. Shockingly, these funds were not directed toward improving the living conditions of Gaza's populace but were funneled into violent attacks against Israel and the lavish lifestyles of the leadership. Hamas' Shura Council, responsible for strategic decisions, also oversees the Ministry of Investments, an entity known to only a handful of senior members within the organization.
Must watch footage! Gazans speak out about the hell they live in under Hamas, and how Hamas leaders, who don't even live in Gaza, have lives of luxury and comfort while Gazans suffer.

The investigation has exposed Hamas' intricate web of wealth, totaling $700 million, scattered far beyond Gaza's borders. The companies constituting this empire are strategically based in Turkey, Qatar, Algeria, the United Arab Emirates, and Sudan.
While the people of Gaza resort to breaking into UNRWA warehouses to obtain basic necessities, senior Hamas officials and their families revel in luxury hotels worldwide, maintaining bank accounts across the globe. They have established Turkish bank accounts for money transfers to Europe via German banks situated in cities like Munich and Dusseldorf. Remarkably, over the past two decades, Hamas diverted funds into foreign companies instead of investing in Gaza's infrastructure, creating a financial cushion in case they cease to receive funding from countries like Qatar, Saudi Arabia, or Turkey.
Eli Musa Jabrin, a key figure in Hamas' economic operations, is responsible for managing this vast wealth. Notably, he was among those released in the Shalit deal of 2011 and subsequently relocated to Turkey along with other terrorist operatives. Jabrin assists Hamas leaders in obtaining visas, establishing businesses, and purchasing commercial real estate in Turkey. Consequently, the leadership of this terrorist organization has taken refuge in luxury hotels in Turkey and Qatar, while the lower ranks and the entire Palestinian population in Gaza bear the brunt of their malevolent actions.
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh will cowardly fight Israel from his luxury apartment in Qatar, until the last drop of blood of the last Palestinian.

Additionally, Hamas engages in frequent fundraising endeavors. In a recent development, the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) reported that Hamas' representative in Tehran, Khaled Al-Kadoumi, issued a call in a video message urging the global Arab community to contribute to the "Global Youth Front of the Resistance." Al-Kadoumi elaborated that this "Global Front of Resistance" comprises the cream of the younger generation, including students, and is involved in both "social and humanitarian activities", garnering support worldwide.
