EGYPT LETS HAMAS BRING $20 MILLION INTO GAZA

Palestinian FM enters Gaza Strip carrying case with $20M in cash (Haaretz)
Palestinian Foreign Minister Mahmoud al-Zahar on Tuesday entered the Gaza Strip carrying a suitcase containing $20 million in cash.

Al-Zahar raised the funds, which he brought in through the border with Egypt, over the past two weeks during a series of visits to several Arab countries. Various Palestinian officials, using their VIP status, have brought millions in Arab-donated dollars into Gaza in recent months, despite international sanctions against the group. In June, al-Zahar brought 20 million euros across the border, stuffed in 12 suitcases.

Palestinian law permits cash to be carried over the border as long as it is declared.The international community has said it will not lift the sanctions unless Hamas recognizes Israel, accepts past peace deals and renounces violence, conditions Hamas has rejected.

CONNECT THE DOTS TO YOUR TAX DOLLARS: Al-Zahar is a member of the terrorist group Hamas. Hamas is listed as a terrorist group by America. America has been leading efforts to block the flow of funds to Hamas. Egypt is supposedly an American ally. America gives Egypt almost $4 billion a year.

I'LL BET THE SMUGGLED MONEY DIDN'T GO TO PAY FOR MEDICAL CARE.
