yes (however Hamas reportedly “shares power” with the socalled ‘pali authority’ the USA is funding, and controls gaza)
all the subtleties or details aside,
I believe American and European funds should not be going in this direction! No way.
In my humble opinion.
There is no “actual” sharing of power, but only something on paper. The Palestinian Authority knows that Hamas hates it and will destroy it, if they get the chance ... :-) ...
As far as the money going to the Palestinian Authority, there was a time when Congress was considering cutting off money to the Palestinian Authority, and Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu lobbied individual Congressmen on the issue, letting them know that cutting off funds would not be in Israel’s best interests.
SO ... what I am saying is that Netanyahu and Israel knows what is best for them, so we should listen to them on that one. They don’t want any funding fir Hamas, but they do continue it for the P.A. ... aside fromm a few disputes from time to time when they delay money to “make a point” ... :-) ...
