How Rich Are Leaders Of Hamas?
After the Islamic State, Hamas is said to be the second-richest terrorist organisation in the world due to donations from overseas supporters and taxes on goods that are smuggled through tunnels.
The terrorist organisation Hamas has vast financial resources, and a recent social media post by Israel’s US Embassy brought attention to the gap between the leaders of the group and the Palestinian people they say they represent.
It also determined the approximate net worth of several Hamas officials who live hundreds of kilometres away from Gaza in Qatar. The estimated net worths of Hamas Political Bureau deputy chair Abu Marzuk is $3 billion, while that of senior leaders Ismail Haniyeh and Khaled Mashal are $4 billion each.Taking it a step further, the website i24news recently estimated that Khaled Mashal is worth roughly $5 billion, with a portfolio of investments that includes banks in Egypt and real estate developments in the Arabian Gulf.It suggests that hundreds of middle-class to upper-class Hamas officials have accumulated substantial wealth, often due to the 20% tax levied on all contraband imported through the organization’s network of underground tunnels and through foreign backers.
Irony is– this is in an area where the international poverty line is exceeded by 60% of Palestinians, who earn less than $60 per month.
