If this card was really that of the Hamas top dog Ismail Haniyeh, it’s noteworthy that at the same time as it was active, Western financial institutions were beginning to cut off political undesirables, that is, dissidents from the Left’s agenda, in the U.S. and Canada.
“Israeli Soldier Finds Hamas Leader’s Visa in Gaza Rubble: ‘Dropped His Credit Card and Fled,’” by Bruce Golding, The Messenger, December 7, 2023:
Maybe this marked-for-death Hamas terrorist should have carried cash.
A credit card bearing the name of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was found by the Israeli military in Gaza, according to a video that emerged Thursday.
An Israel Defense Forces officer identified only as Lt. Col. Dotan held up the Visa card and taunted Haniyeh in the 16-second clip posted on X, formerly Twitter, by Almog Boker, a reporter for Israel’s Channel 13….
The card, issued by the Palestine Islamic Bank, expired in October 2019, and spelled Haniyeh’s name as “Haniya,” as does the English version of Qatar-based news network Al Jazeera.
The discovery was revealed several hours after the Israeli military said it found five receipts for about $25,000 in jewelry bought by Haniyeh’s son, Moaz Haniyeh, in Gaza and Qatar.
The “amount of just one receipt is equivalent to approximately two years’ wages for a Gaza resident,” according to the IDF….
He was declared a specially designated global terrorist in January 2018 by the U.S. State Department, which cited his “close links with Hamas’ military wing” and support for “armed struggle, including against civilians.”…

Visa should be ordered to pay whatever damages the Israelis suffered + the cost of their operation in Gaza, and then charge Haniya/Haniyeh in Doha. I’m sure that billionaire can pay it. If he refuses, Qatar should be asked to make him, or pay that bill for him. It will open up the al Thanis to the cost of supporting jihad

pro palestinians will find an excuse for this, too. “Nooo, they aren’t corrupt. They are our Freedom fighters!”
The Istanbulian says
Max it out on munitions for the iron dome
Greg Murphy says
That card expired 4 years ago!
James Lincoln says
So, will the Palestine Islamic Bank disclose the complete rundown of ALL of the purchases made by “Haniya”???
Christopher Watson says
At the end of the day this tale of so-called political ideals, ‘freedom’, land, and historical misunderstandings comes down to a credit card and 25000 dollars stolen from the Palestinian people who have been duped by a bunch of petty thieves.
