Haniyeh seeks to pay Hamas ‘military personnel’ with Qatar’s money
 [TIMESOFISRAEL] Senior Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, leader in Gazoo Ismail Haniyeh...became Prime Minister after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank... said Sunday he is working to ensure money sent to the terror group by Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... will be used to pay "military personnel" alongside civilian The Times of Israel reported recently that Qatar agreed to transfer some 113 Saudi riyal ($31 million) to Hamas in order to pay the salaries of the group’s employees in the Strip. Over the past three years, Hamas employees have generally been receiving a third to half of their salaries. According to a statement published on Hamas’s website, Haniyeh is in contact with various "government agencies" in Gazoo to support the payment of the group’s "military personnel" with the Qatari money. In the statement, the Hamas big turban lashed out against "parties" in Gazoo who attempt to distinguish between the military and civilian branches of the organization. Haniyeh demanded that both military and civilians are considered "legitimate" employees who are "appointed by the decision of a legitimate government." Haniyeh did not indicate which "parties" had called for there to be a difference between the two branches of Hamas, or indeed whether those parties were strictly Paleostinian or international officials present in the Strip.
