As Israel’s war on Palestinians living in the besieged Gaza Strip continues escalating, a secret 2018 letter penned by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the leadership in Doha exposes Tel Aviv’s diplomatic efforts to ensure tens of millions of dollars would reach Hamas every month. The decades-long policy of Netanyahu’s far-right Likud Party to directly and indirectly fund Hamas has been well documented by the US and Israeli press.
In the letter, only seen by a handful of people, Netanyahu implored the Qatari government to send Hamas another major cash infusion. According to Ynet, an Israeli news outlet, Qatari funding for Hamas between 2007 and 2014 was conducted largely without international oversight. But following Israel’s 2014 war on Gaza, the transfers were carried out with a new system worked out by the US, Israel, the UN, and Qatar, ensuring Hamas was provided with $30 million per month ostensibly to cover fuel costs, welfare payments for the needy, as well as government salaries.
Until 2018, the payments were cleared with Israel and the illegally occupied West Bank’s Palestinian Authority (PA). The PA is trained and backed by Tel Aviv, London, and Washington. Essentially trustees in an Israeli prison, the PA is not a sovereign state by any means.
Nevertheless, Dr. Udi Levi, the Mossad official charged with cracking down on the funding of terrorism until 2016, told Ynet “The PA said it would no longer agree to fund Hamas and rather than let the terror group collapse, Israel decided on an alternative route for its funding.”
He continued, “That was part of Israel’s policy to buy quiet. Hamas demanded that the $30 million per month would be delivered directly to the ruling faction. It was naïve to believe Hamas would provide the money to the population in Gaza.”
Levi goes on to explain that Doha was reluctant to fund Hamas as well, saying, “In 2018 Qatar was concerned that funding Hamas – which had been designated a terror organization – would create problems with international institutions.”..
Subsequently, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin “agreed to a request from Netanyahu and sent an additional letter to Doha, this time from Washington, in effect, ensuring Qatar that the funding of Hamas would not be considered funding terror.”
...The long-standing policy of backing Hamas was part of a larger effort by Netanyahu and Likud to divide the Palestinians, weaken Fatah, preclude negotiations over a Palestinian state, and continue the de facto annexation of land in the West Bank with expanding illegal settlements.
