Muslim Brotherhood stole half a billion dollars from Gaza donations, Arab sources reveal [View all]

[Mosby]

The Muslim Brotherhood allegedly stole half a billion dollars from donations for the Gaza Strip in a single campaign, Egyptian researcher Maher Farghali reported on Sunday.

While Farghali noted that it is typical of the Muslim Brotherhood to “exploit Gaza and Palestine for money,” the difference with this incident is that Hamas condemned the theft.

The association Waqf al-Ummah/Ummet Vakfı, founded by the Muslim Brotherhood, is said to have been responsible for taking half a billion, which it raised in a single fundraiser in the name of “Gaza.” Waqf al-Ummah has operated out of Turkey since 2013 and is overseen by religious figures.

Hamas learned of the corruption in January 2024 through one of its younger members, Khaled Mansour, who was investigating Waqf al-Ummah and the associated individuals. Over the last few days, Mansour (@mansourgaza) has been posting repeatedly about the situation, including detailing the figures stolen.
