One can buy a lot of explosives for 50 million dollars. I somehow doubt they will be paving roads.

Now if a man gave a million dollars to Hamas he would be jailed for supporting terrorist, but when a President...

The logic behind all this is missing in action.

Remember the story a few months ago about the Gaza fishermen who were complaining they couldn't cruise far enough to fish to catch a full load because the Israeli patrols had them boxed in to 12( I think ) miles? Yassar's last shipment (about 40 tons) got intercepted and he died short on ammo. The Israelis do a great job checking what gets into Gaza so I gotta go with them in terms of keeping large qty's out of reach. There is some evidence the Egypts are also getting the idea.
I don't know the details of how GW's 50 mill will be managed but I'll trust that it will go to the housing that it is supposed to build----but here's the test: The money may not actually get spent since the Gazas don't have a track record of building anything but ratholes. We just have to wait to see if they perform but I got a cold case of anything you want to bet that this will be their last 50 mill if they don't.
