{"product_id":"hamas-benefactors-a-network-of-terror-9781508483199","title":"Hamas' Benefactors: A Network of Terror","description":"Hamas is designated by the U.S. as a foreign terrorist organization. It is a non-state actor, which is dependent upon outside funding and support. Hamas' military capacity, including arms, rockets, methods of combat, and general funding, is largely provided by Iran. Repeatedly, the Israelis have intercepted shipments of Iranian arms en route to the Gaza strip. Turkey, a U.S. and NATO ally, is known to harbor several of Hamas' top operatives. Turkey also provides financial, material, and political support for Hamas. In 2011, Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan said, \"Hamas is not a terrorist organization. It is a political party.\" Turkey isn't the only U.S. ally, or at least U.S. partner, that has been known to harbor Hamas leadership and provide the terrorist group with funds. Qatar, which the administration entrusted to monitor the Taliban five, who were swapped for Sergeant Bergdahl, is perhaps the largest financial patron of Hamas. Qatar also harbor Hamas figurehead Khaled Meshaal. In 2011, the Emir of Qatar visted Gaza and pledged over $400 million of infrastructure money to Hamas. Qatar funds Hamas' strikes in Gaza, as well as its project, building terror tunnels from which to attack Israel. Cutting off the funds that go to Hamas and other terror groups is the first step to taking down those terrorist groups and countering their radical ideologies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-8325881\"\u003eSubcommittee on the Middle East and Nort\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.19d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781508483199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1508483191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POL\"\u003ePolitical Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POL037000\"\u003eTerrorism\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44694645211373,"sku":"9781508483199","price":21.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_9b209c42-12cd-49b2-b045-aaefbad64b74.jpg?v=1703778688","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/hamas-benefactors-a-network-of-terror-9781508483199","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
