Huge sums are spent on luxurious lifestyles abroad for Hamas' top brass rather than the residents of Gaza and the revenues for this terrorist organization comes from an extensive network of companies, according to exclusive documents seen by the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag. 

Welt claims German banks are also implicated in providing financial services for Hamas leaders, without naming any institution.

As a rule, Hamas leaders reside in luxury hotels far from Gaza – in Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Turkey.

Even before the current war, half of Palestinians in Gaza depended on UN food aid, with warnings from UNRWA – the UN relief aid agency for Palestinians – about the territory's imminent collapse.

Office of Investment

Despite ruling Gaza since 2007, Hamas allocates hundreds of millions of dollars to attacks on Israel and a lavish lifestyle abroad. The Shura Council, Hamas' supreme political body, oversees strategic decisions, including the "Office of Investment," a structure that manages a secret portfolio of foreign assets valued at about 700 million euros or over 750 million dollars.

This financial empire spans 30 to 40 companies in Türkiye, Qatar, Algeria, the UAE, and Sudan.
While Gaza's population suffers from the consequences of Hamas' attacks, the leaders, including Ismail Haniyeh, Khaled Mashaal, and Saleh al-Arouri, live in luxury hotels abroad, holding bank accounts worldwide.

The terrorist group’s three top leaders alone are worth a staggering total of 11 billion dollars, the New York Post quotes American intelligence sources.
