The leaders of the terror group appear to be living large while the people of Gaza suffer from poverty and the atrocities committed by Hamas. According to Israeli sources, the leaders of Hamas are multibillionaires who have amassed a substantial amount of terror money for themselves.

Political Bureau Chief Mousa Abu Marzouk is worth $3 billion, and Hamas leaders Ismail Haniyeh and Khaled Mashaal are reported to be worth $4 billion apiece. An estimated $1 billion or more is made annually by the terror group from a global network that includes cryptocurrency, real estate, legal business, and taxing and extorting Gazan citizens. Although scores of Hamas leaders have faced sanctions from the US Treasury Department, Hamas remains one of the wealthiest terrorist groups in the world due to its numerous shell companies and financial machinations.

The Four Seasons Hotel in Doha, Qatar has long been reported to be one of the Hamas leaders’ operational bases. During a press appearance in the hotel ballroom in 2015, Mashaal made disparaging remarks about Israel. Furthermore, a lot of his time was allegedly spent at the property. According to Four Seasons, the villa has been redesigned with a contemporary grandeur and is dazzling with views of the sea and sunshine. The beachside urban retreat has been turned into a busy hotspot, with its exquisite entrance giving way to lively restaurants and lounges.
Four Seasons affirms that Ismail Haniyeh is neither residing at nor visiting the Four Seasons Hotel Doha, the company declared in a statement to Fox News. There is false information circulating on social media that suggests otherwise. Fox News has not responded to inquiries concerning the other Hamas officials.
Ismail Haniyeh, Moussa Abu Marzuk, and Khaled Mashal, the leaders of Hamas, live opulent lives and have an office in Doha, the capital of Qatar. They have traveled far, been photographed on private planes, and been spotted at its diplomatic club. The World Cup of football in 2022 would have had the same level of leadership. On the other hand, the majority of the nearly 2 million residents of the Gaza Strip, which Hamas has controlled since 2007, are living in extreme poverty.
Before moving to Qatar in 2017, he ruled the Gaza Strip till that point.
Over $4 billion is the net worth of Haniyeh, a father of 13 who leads one of the wealthiest terrorist organisations in the world.
A recent social media post from the Israeli Embassy in the US claims that he has been pictured living the high life at opulent hotels in Qatar and Turkey with his two adult sons, Maaz and Abdel Salam. Haniyeh visited Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, last week. Iran has traditionally supported Hamas financially. Bill Gates, who owns a majority share in the business, was urged last month to clarify that he was not a guest of the Four Seasons hotel in Doha.
Reports state that Haniyeh Sr. is a citizen of Turkey as well.
The Israeli government estimates that Abu Marzuk, 72, a prominent political figure in Hamas who serves as the organization’s “international relations office,” is worth $3 billion. In 1995, US immigration authorities discovered that he was on a terrorist watch list, leading to his detention in New York. He holds a master’s degree in construction management from Colorado State University. Furthermore, the Israeli government claims that Mashal, 67, is worth more than $4 billion. Following the horrors on October 7, Mashal issued a global threat against Jews.
Qatar is home to Hamas and is also one of the US’s most significant military installations in the Middle East. At the massive Al Udeid air base, it is home to US Central Command’s advanced facility in the Middle East, which is essential to Air Force operations in the Gulf. Hamas does not get all of its funding from Qatar. Additionally, the organization received almost $400 million from the UN in the previous two years despite the UN’s denial that Hamas is a terrorist group.
