He made these remarks in an interview that aired on Diwan Al-Mulla Online (Kuwait) on May 26, 2021. Taha explained that Tehran is using the Palestinian cause as a bargaining chip in the Vienna negotiations, in order to lift the sanctions on it. He continued to say that the money and weapons that Hamas receives from Iran go towards destruction and not construction. Taha continued to say that Hamas is the Muslim Brotherhood’s military wing and that “peddling in the Palestinian cause” has become its only hope to save its political presence. He added that Hamas wants funds in order to expand its tunnels and drug trafficking. Taha then asked whether it is considered a victory when Hamas uses women and children as human shields, and when thousands of Palestinians are wounded and hundreds are killed. He added that this is true all the more so when some of these casualties are a result of Hamas rockets. Taha congratulated Haniyeh for his “Mercedes, his Rolex watch, his 300 million dollars, and his Armani suit.” He said: “Congratulations to Hamas for all its rewards for peddling in the blood of innocents.”
Ismail Haniyeh is Hamas leader, and a wealthy man.
