How Hamas Is Spending Qatari Money
(Jerusalem Post) Prof. Hillel Frisch - Muhammad Hamada, a senior official in the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Development and Social Affairs, said recently that $78 million of Qatari money has so far been disbursed in Gaza to 70,000 families. He went on to itemize, in considerable detail, how the money was spent. The problem is that when one adds up all the specific funds to all the targeted populations of Gaza's poor that Hamada claims were distributed, nearly 80% are unaccounted for.
