Former Shin Bet Official: Hamas Retains Full Control of Gaza, Generates Up to $5 Million Per Day in Revenue

A former official from Shin Bet (Israel's internal security service) stated that Hamas retains full control of Gaza one year into the ceasefire and generates up to $5 million per day in revenue. The assessment highlights Hamas's sustained administrative and economic grip on the territory despite the ceasefire, with the group leveraging taxation, border fees, and other mechanisms to fund its operations. The revelation raises questions about the effectiveness of the ceasefire in weakening Hamas's governance capacity.
