Hamas govt says Gulf states to provide $80 mln
2006-04-06
RAMALLAH, West Bank - Palestinian Finance Minister Omar Abdel-Razeq said on Wednesday that the Hamas-led government expected to receive $80 million from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates to help pay March bills for guns and ammo salaries.

But he said it was unclear when the Palestinian Authority would secure the funds. March salaries totaling about $118 million were scheduled to be paid earlier this week. Asked if the government was concerned it would not be able to pay salaries, Abdel-Razeq told reporters: “There is a concern, but I do not think about it.”
Why would he think about it -- he's only the Finance Minister.

#5  IF they make haste Hamas could probably get a pretty good deal on some refurbished, low mileage Kalashnikovs with Venezuelan cartouches stamped on the receivers.

#3  Â“There is a concern, but I do not think about it.”

When do you start thinking about it Mr. Finance Minister? When the bullets start coming through your window?

#2  FOX NEWS this AM reported HAMAS officials as saying that $$$ received from Muslim nations is NOT going to be enough for Hamas to pay the bills.
