Hamas going bankrupt? Not paying salaries?

It would seem a recent report by the Peres institute regarding Hamas' growing financial power was either exaggerated or misguided. Either that, or Hamas is keeping all its cash for rockets, and relying on EU, US and other PA donor funds to pay salaries to its people.

Hamas also faces financial crunch, hasn't paid salaries

Hamas also seems to be facing a financial crisis and, like the Palestinian Authority, has not been able to pay full salaries to its civil servants in the Gaza Strip.

In other news, the parasite donor relying terrorist Palestinian entity is still marching on to declare a state in September. With the full dignity of bursting in tears while still telling lies at the UN...

Palestinian UN envoy bursts in tears while declaring his bankrupt and split government entity wants to be a full pledged state
PA envoy tells UNSC, "We can't keep waiting for Israel to negotiate"; Israeli envoy responds, "Palestinians cannot bypass talks," says "Palestinians are not united and are far from united for peace."

The Palestinians are ready to seek statehood recognition with Jerusalem as its capital, the Palestinian Authority envoy to the United Nations Riyad Mansour told the Security Council on Tuesday.

In a dress rehearsal for the expected vote over Palestinian statehood set to take place at the United Nations in September, Mansour told the council his people could not be held in waiting much longer.

“With international political and financial support this plan has reached its objectives as acknowledged by the international community,” he said. “We have completed our responsibilities and are ready to govern ourselves. “

He added: “We cannot keep waiting for Israel to negotiate with good faith.”

Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Ron Prosor, speaking after Mansour, told the Security Council that security and recognition of Israel as a Jewish State are the two linchpin issues that must be acknowledged by Palestinians in order to reach a final agreement and two-state solution.

Prosor said that he supported a two-state solution, with a Palestinian state residing "alongside and not instead of the Jewish state." That Palestinian state, the ambassador added, must be demilitarized and supported by a strong education system, halting teachings of hatred and anti-Israeli sentiment.

The Israeli ambassador rejected any unilateral move by the Palestinians, including seeking state recognition at the UN General Assembly, and dismissed such efforts as an attempt to bypass negotiations with Israel. Prosor said such efforts would be futile for Palestinians, saying only bilateral negotiations presented a solution.

"To the Palestinians I also issue a call," Prosor said. "Take Israel’s outstretched hand. Seize the opportunities before us to advance down the real road toward peace – a road of solutions not resolutions; dialogue not monologue; and direct negotiations not unilateral declarations."


"Whether the Palestinians bring forward a resolution in the General Assembly or by invoking the 'Uniting for Peace' resolution it is clear that the Palestinians are not united and are far from united for peace," Prosor said.

The Israeli ambassador added, "There is much uncertainty about the future Palestinian government: its acceptance of the Quartet conditions, the peace process, control of its security forces, and many other questions. It will take at least a year until after the Palestinian elections next year before it is clear what Palestinian unity really means."

Prosor also commented on Iran and instability in the Middle East saying, "Last month’s panel of experts report made clear that Iran continues to pursue nuclear weapons capabilities, in complete disregard of the will of the international community. New information shows Iran’s intention to install uranium centrifuges at its facility in Qom – a facility that was concealed for years from the IAEA. Such behavior does not just endanger the Middle East, or a specific group of countries. It endangers us all."
