Sponsors of Terrorism: The expert told where Hamas takes the money for war

Hamas, in particular, is funded by Iran, Catar and private sponsors, said Michal Voynarovich. The Palestinian organization receives about $ 100 million from Tehran every year. In Israel there is a confrontation between the tahal and the militants from the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas. In this regard, the analyst of the Polish Institute of International Relations, Mikhal Voynarovich, told on November 24 in an interview with Defense24 about sources of financing the Palestinian movement.

According to the expert, Hamas is funded by Iran, Catara and private sponsors. The organization also abuses the support aimed at the Gaza Sector, which it controls, collects taxes from this territory and conducts different businesses in the Middle East. "The sources of funding for Hamas organization are complex and can be divided into external and internal. It receives funds from its allies, primarily from Iran.

According to various foreign estimates, Tehran provides Hamas up to $ 100 million a year," said Voynarovich. The leader of Palestinian terrorists Ismail Hani in 2022 acknowledged that the missiles of the Far Radium of Hamas are coming from abroad. These are Iran, Syria and other countries from where they get into the Gaza through Egypt. The CIA of the US CIA reported the supply of military support from Tehran, the expert added.

At the same time, according to the estimates of Israeli sources in security agencies, last year Iran has significantly increased the funding of the Hamas military wing - from $ 100 million a year to about $ 350 million. Donation from individuals and supporters of traffic can be added to these funds. "Of course, Hamas also abuses the support that is directed to gas as humanitarian aid, including Western societies," Voynarovich said.

The analyst also mentioned the cryptocurrency market, which also became a noticeable source of income of fighters. In addition, Hamas controls gas taxes by investing in business. For example, for money from sponsors, they buy goods abroad, which are then sold in the Gaza sector. The members also buy real estate outside the enclave. "In particular, the funds are now accumulated outside the Gaza sector, not within it," Voynarovich explained.

Finally, the expert announced the approximate amount spent on the organization of the Palestinians of the terrorist attack on October 7 in the territory of Israel. According to him, the cost of its preparation and conduct could reach one billion dollars. Recall that the authorities of Israel and the leaders of the Hamas organization have reached agreements that provide for the release of hostages and ceasefire.
