How much does Hamas offer compensation to those whose house was destroyed? $ 2,000

Hamas leaders have so far paid $ 40 million in compensation to the families whose homes were destroyed in Gaza during "Operation Preventive Edge." Each family receives $ 2,000. Said Moussa Abu Marzouk, deputy chairman of Hamas's political wing, quoted yesterday (Thursday) New York Times. "

Abu Marzouk, and Ismail Haniyeh, the Hamas leader in Gaza, conducted a tour of some of the Gaza Strip, including in Beit Hanoun. The Times wrote, "accompanying them describes how they made their way through the crowd greeted them in line. They kissed the older men and young fighters foreheads adorned in masks and waved at the women standing near the ruins of the houses.

The Hamas flags fluttered amongst the rubble, as if it was an area that was occupied by the victorious army, by dictating description. "These buildings are the gates of victory," declared Haniyeh.

More than a week has passed since the ceasefire was declared, but little has changed on the ground. Frequent power outages, residents have to queue to get clean drinking water and there is no information when to resume imports of building materials, in what quantities and those who supervise it, but as it does not interfere with Hamas millions of dollars toward construction of the future. Despite the destruction and loss of life, Hamas emerged from the war, "cheerful", according to the Times headline. "

Organization gave up on control of government offices in Gaza in favor of the Palestinian unity government (not yet staked strap), but, paradoxically, the political position of Hamas is stronger than ever in recent years, the newspaper notes. Polls indicate an increase in the Gaza Strip unprecedented degree of support for Hamas precisely because of the war. Those imposed on Hamas responsible for the destruction, "left behind". Analysts say, however, that the situation may change as time goes by if the situation does not improve.

To remove any doubt, Hamas leaders already disclaim responsibility for rehabilitation. "It is the responsibility of Mahmoud Abbas (President of the Authority) who is responsible for the government now," said the Times, "Abu Mahmoud Zahar, a member of the political leadership of Hamas. Another angle Showing Ziad al Zaza, former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Hamas: "Hamas, whose leaders would be charged because they suffered losses at the front ... and the leader of Hamas, are the ones that offer help to people, and comforting them."

Indeed, some are rushing to place responsibility on Abbas for the current difficulties. Omar Shaban, an economist in Gaza, said: "I am independent. I'm not in favor of Hamas; I am not in favor of opening. But I'm sure one hundred percent that Abbas is responsible for what is happening here. He did not come to Gaza. We did not hear anything from him."

Even the Minister of Public Works Authority government, Mufid al Jashia, expressed frustration against Abbas: "Hamas acts, they gave $ 2,000 (family). Money gives you power. Money gives you everything. Hamas is stronger than government authority.
