News flash Hamas runs Gaza.
were you thinking buddhists or some other "peacekeepers' run it?
The United States wants Abbas' PA to play a central role in the reconstruction effort in Gaza, hoping this will increase its influence in the Hamas stronghold. Washington is also putting pressure on other donors to bolster the Palestinian Authority.
Hamas ousted Fatah from Gaza in a bloody 2007 coup.
TEL AVIV, Israel –
Hamas is "very happy" with a pledge this week from the Obama administration to provide $900 million in aid for rebuilding the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, a spokesman from the Islamist organization told WND.
"We are very happy with this decision," said Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum, speaking by cell phone from Gaza. "In the first place, this money will go toward reconstructing efforts."
Barhoum said he expects the money to be tightly controlled. He said the funds are likely to be delineated to the Palestinian Authority and to the United Nations Relief and Work Agency, or UNWRA, which administers aid to millions of Palestinian "refugees" in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.
Hamas has a close relationship with
UNWRA; the agency openly employs a large number of Hamas members, including some of the group's most senior terrorists.
Kinda like saying you will give money to rebuuild Gaza but none goes to Muslims.
The Liberals are sure gullible.
