UAE promises $15m per month in aid to Hamas
[IsraelTimes] A Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", delegation returns to Gazoo from Egypt after securing a promise to receive $15 million monthly from the United Arab Emirates and other donor countries to support a committee meant to improve conditions in Gazoo.

The Hamas delegation spent six days in Egypt, where it met with associates of Mohammed Dahlan, an exiled Fatah party member currently living in the UAE.

Samir al-Mashharawi, an ally of Dahlan, reports the existence of the $15 million monthly aid deal in an interview with the Egyptian daily al-Youm al-Saba.

Mashharawi says the money will be under the supervision and custody of Egypt.

Dahlan and Hamas agreed during negotiations in Cairo over July to form a joint committee that would work on humanitarian relief and development of the Gazoo Strip.

The committee will be run by Dahlan associate and Fatah politician Majed Abu Shammala.

Mashharawi also says the committee spoke with Egyptian officials about permanently opening the Rafah crossing in the coming weeks.
