Reuters correspondent Nidal al-Mughrabi reports that Hamas has failed to meet January payroll for its 34,000 Palestinian employees:
A senior official at the Hamas-run Finance Ministry blamed the delay on new "technical procedures" under which cash is distributed at post offices and the newly established Palestinian Islamic National Bank.Perhaps a peek at the Gaza property records might shed some additional light on the problem:
"Technical procedures".The report, in the independent Kafiyeh network, claims that Hamas Gaza kingpin Ismail Haniyeh has bought property worth $4 million in Gaza and apparently intends to build there. The purchase is reportedly registered in the name of one of his sons. Haniyeh has reportedly purchased real estate for his family members as well, including an apartment for his wife.
how did these guys get the media to cooperate with them like this? maybe that is another place the money is going?
