Hamas' three top leaders alone are worth a staggering total of $11 billion and enjoy a life of luxury in the sanctuary of the emirate of Qatar. I'd guess holding onto their "champagne wishes and caviar dreams" lifestyle is their primary, if not sole concern.

If peace results in a financial loss for them, I kinda think they'll just go on and on as is, and do the Energizer Bunny real proud.
