How does Hamas fund for its fifty thousand fighters?
Since october 7, israel and Hamas have been engaged in combat. In the Gaza Strip, Israeli forces are engaged in a ground conflict with Hamas fighters, but there is also gunfire. In this kind of scenario, one might wonder how long the combatants of a group like Hamas have managed to hold out against a powerful nation like Israel. Who is providing the funding for them, and more importantly, how does this money get to the 50,000 Hamas fighters? Today, allow us to explain this to you.
How much cash does Hamas invest in its combatants?
A news outlet said that the Gaza government's annual budget amounts to $700 million. In indian rupees, this is more than five thousand crores. As only Hamas controls Gaza, the term "Gaza government" here refers to Hamas. Nevertheless, the entire $700 million is not solely used to fund Hamas terrorists; salaries are also provided to employees and numerous other projects are funded with this money. The question of where a group like Hamas gets its funding from is more important than the expenditure itself.
Where does Hamas obtain their funding?
It is asserted of Hamas that it receives substantial support from foreign nations when it opposes Israel. This assistance is mostly financial. The vice president of the French Institute for international and Strategic Affairs (IRIS) recently stated that Qataris give Hamas more than $30 million a month. Simultaneously, a study published by the Washington Center for Arab Studies claims that Doha gave the Gaza Strip almost 1.3 billion dollars between 2012 and 2022.
