Hamas says it will pay M to families of people killed in Gaza coup

As part of the Hamas/Fatah attempt at unification, Hamas has agreed to help create a fund to pay compensation for "victims of the division."

Ismail Haniyeh, speaking at a mosque on Friday, said that it was agreed between Hamas and Fatah on the establishment of a national fund of around million dollars to compensate the families of victims.

During the 2006 coup in Gaza and into 2007, over 600 Palestinian Arabs - many of them civilians - were killed by their fellow Arabs in Gaza. Hamas killed far more Fatah members than vice versa.

Some million of this fund will be provided by Qatar.

Where will the rest of the money come from? It isn't like Hamas is rolling in dough.

So, they will probably steal it from other Gazans, one way or another.
