Looks like Hamas's financial troubles are over.

Seems they are now recruiting more people into the government so clearly their financial issues are over. A new security force is being funded along the lines of a police force. Read more here.

From what I can gather there is the government and all it's many departments. There is seemingly markets and shops with a few farmers and that's it. Everybody else is either a suicide bomber or collecting benefits. From the sound of things split 50/50.

There doesn't seem to be any industry or major agriculture over there yet they must have a similar sort of climate to Israel and I understand from those who have been there that there are major agricultural areas and thriving industries.

Maybe instead of just sending them money we should break the endless cycle and create some infrastructure that they could use. Maybe then there would be less suicide bombers.

It doesn't quite work like that- remember all the Israeli greenhouse that were bought for the Palestinians? Most of them have since been destroyed- by the Palestinians themselves. Perhaps if the money stopped flowing they would have to spend what they do have on themselves and not rockets, explosives, detonators and small arms?

This is the guiy they've appointed to lead the new security force-

Samhadana was recently quoted in a newspaper as saying, “We have only one enemy. They are Jews. We have no other enemy. I will continue to carry the rifle and pull the trigger whenever required to defend my people.”
