Certainly, readers can be struck by such a paradox, and may not grasp why the UAE – a part of the anti-Muslim Brotherhood alliance – would fund Hamas, even if it did so through the security portal (ousted Fatah strongman Mohammed Dahlan is currently a security adviser for Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed).
According to sources close to Hamas, “the UAE money is the price it paid to cover up the scandal of having sent an intelligence delegation to Gaza, along with its medical personnel, for security reasons that include delivering money to Dahlan supporters in order to cause unrest.”
“Millions of dollars were seized from the UAE delegation which were brought to support some parties affiliated to Dahlan,” the sources told Al-Akhbar, without revealing the exact amount.
