Hamas may receive up to $400 million in debt relief under BoP plan – report

A KAN News report on Tuesday indicated that Hamas could receive up to $400 million in debt relief under the 15-point Gaza Board of Peace (BoP) plan. This was based on Article 5 of the agreement, which KAN described as vaguely worded, allowing funds to be transferred to "suppliers and contract holders" without explicitly excluding those linked to Hamas. While the BoP confirmed the language, they insisted funds "will not cover corruption, financial mismanagement, or anything related to the organization's terrorist record." However, BoP Director-General Nikolay Mladenov disputed the report on Wednesday, stating on X/Twitter that "such a proposal has not been discussed, negotiated, considered, and will not be on the agenda in the future." He emphasized that "Hamas will have no role in the Gaza administration and will have no access to funds," and that all contracts are vetted and accounts are open to scrutiny.
