$400 million will pay 'legitimate' contractors, severance to Hamas civil servants not hired by new technocratic government, sources tell ToI; NCAG reportedly to audit Hamas books The post Board of Peace’s Gaza envoy denies financial deal with Hamas: ‘Not on the table’ appeared first on The Times of Israel .
The Board of Peace's Gaza envoy, Nickolay Mladenov, has denied claims of a financial deal with Hamas, stating that Hamas will have no role in Gaza's governance or access to funds. According to The Times of Israel, $400 million is set to be paid to legitimate contractors and for severance to Hamas civil servants not hired by the new technocratic government.
However, Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman claimed, as reported by the Jerusalem Post, that the 15-point Gaza Board of Peace plan includes granting Hamas's military wing $160 million in cash. Liberman alleged that Hamas has an existing agreement with suppliers to transfer $160 million directly to the terror group's military wing.
Mladenov's denial of a Hamas funding deal contrasts with Liberman's claims. The Jerusalem Post also reported Liberman's concerns about the IDF's ability to operate in Gaza, citing hindrance from the US and Israel's political echelon.
