FACT CHECK · HAMAS: CHARTER, MANDATE, SUPPORT, MONEY AND 'RIVER TO THE SEA'

Claim: 'Hamas is part of the PA; Ramallah runs Gaza's ministry'

MISLEADING

THE ANSWER

Hamas is not the PA: it threw the PA out of Gaza by force in June 2007 and has governed it since, naming its own health ministers. Ramallah kept paying salaries and sending supplies; Hamas runs it.
