The financial crisis within Hamas has escalated, with reports indicating that many fighters and political personnel have received only partial salaries in recent weeks. This hardship has hindered recruitment efforts as Israel's offensive disrupts funding and humanitarian aid flows. Officials have noted that Hamas's previous reliance on black markets for financing has been undermined following Israel's suspension of humanitarian supplies. Negotiations over ceasefires have been complicated by demands from Israel for hostages' release and disarmament, which Hamas has rejected, exacerbating the situation.
Hamas fighters and political staffers have reportedly been receiving only half their usual salaries, highlighting a severe financial crisis within the group as Israel's offensive continues.
As Israel cuts off humanitarian aid, Hamas, previously reliant on black market sales of these goods for funds, struggles to pay fighters and recruit new members.
