Palestinian denies funneling charity money to Hamas
2016-08-08
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A Paleostinian representative of US based Christian charity World Vision denies Israeli allegations
"No, no! Certainly not!"
that he funneled millions of dollars in aid money to the Islamist hard boy group Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, his lawyer said on Sunday.
"The money must have moved itself," he added. "When Allah wills, all things are possible."
Mohammad El Halabi, World Vision’s manager of operations in the Gazoo Strip, was incarcerated
Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit!
by Israel on June 15 while crossing into the enclave, which is under the de facto rule of Hamas, a group on the Israeli and US terrorism blacklists.

Briefing news hounds on Thursday, a senior Israeli security official said Halabi, who has run the group’s Gazoo operations since 2010, had been under surveillance.

The Israeli official said Halabi confessed to siphoning off some $7.2 million a year, about 60 percent of World Vision’s Gazoo funding, to pay Hamas fighters, buy arms, pay for other activities and build fortifications.

"Mohammad El Halabi denies all these accusations. He denied it all," Jerusalem-based lawyer Mohammad Mahmoud, who was assigned to represent El Halabi by the charity group, told Rooters by phone on Sunday.

Mahmoud said he met his client during a court session last week, and these were his first comments made publicly.

World Vision had already said it was "shocked" by Israel’s allegations, and while it had no reason to believe them to be true, it would review the evidence. Hamas has denied any connection to Halabi.
