UK Funding Fuels Hamas, Investigation Reveals | JQJO

An Israeli investigation reveals the U.K., despite banning Hamas, is among Hamas's top three funding sources. This includes government funding channeled through UNICEF programs in Gaza, where Hamas controls beneficiary lists. The U.K., along with France and Canada, threatened Israel for restricting aid distribution. While the U.K. denies directly funding Hamas, documents show awareness of potential reputational damage. NGO Monitor highlights insufficient transparency and oversight in U.K. aid distribution, raising concerns about funds reaching Hamas. Hamas also receives significant non-state funding from U.K.-based organizations.
