Iran behind attempt to funnel millions of dollars into Gaza from Egypt

There is nothing different about this ceasefire with the last one. As soon as it expires there will be another conflict. Guaranteed. Haaretz

Iran is responsible for an attempt last week to funnel millions of dollars to Hamas in the Gaza Strip by way of Egypt, the Egyptian paper Al-Ahram reported on Saturday.

The money was found in suitcases in the car of Hamas spokesman Ayman Taha. The suitcases reportedly contained $9 million along with 2 million Euros.

An Egyptian official said the money represents "only a small portion of the large amounts of money Iran has funneled to Hamas over the last week."
