Hamas terror group reportedly buckling under financial strain amid Israeli military gains and growing unrest

Amid Israel’s ongoing military campaign against Hamas terrorists in Gaza, the terror group is reportedly facing an unprecedented financial crisis.

Recent reports from the Wall Street Journal revealed that salary payments for many Hamas government employees have been halted. Even high-ranking officials received only half of their usual wages during Ramadan. Terrorists who used to earn between $200 to $300 per month are now struggling to receive payment due to strict IDF measures, with humanitarian aid also disrupted since the ceasefire’s breakdown.

Dr. Michael Milstein, who heads the Forum for Palestinian Studies at Tel Aviv University, emphasized that while financial challenges are mounting, Hamas members are primarily driven by ideology over financial gain. Milstein pointed out that Hamas plays a critical role in providing necessities like food, water, and medical assistance to Gaza’s families, illustrating the organization’s importance in the current Gaza landscape. Despite financial pressures, Milstein highlighted that Hamas has navigated through similar crises in the past without succumbing to collapse.

“The amount of hatred Gazans have has increased a thousandfold since October 7,” said Milstein, “and it’s all directed toward Israel and Hamas, both regarded as evil.”

Milstein said that while protests show unrest, they lack leadership and organization. “Hamas has violently suppressed protests, and if this continues, they may die out,” he said, pointing to a recent protest in Beit Lahiya that quickly dwindled.

Recent reports indicate that more Palestinians, including hundreds with dual citizenship, are leaving Gaza through Ramon Airport for Europe. This is part of Israel Katz’s Ministry of Defense plan to encourage those who wish to permanently relocate, aligning with President Trump’s vision for the relocation of Gazans.

“The destruction of homes, schools, and hospitals, along with a lack of basic needs, has driven many to leave Gaza,” Abusada said. “But options are limited—Europe is not open to large numbers of refugees from Gaza.”

Abusada further explained that many of those who are leaving Gaza are dual nationals or have European residency. “This is not voluntary migration,” he said. “Living in a war zone for 18 months with no infrastructure has forced many Palestinians to seek a better life elsewhere.”
