16. Both the drugs and the water trerment plants require money to procure.

I know of no instance of either one being procured without money, or its equivalent, and I was certain that this fundamental principle is self-evident and does not require any additional connections to be established.

The OP makes it evident that Hamas procures drugs. It is self evident that money is being used for this transaction.

Media reports make it clear that most of Gaza water is polluted and is not suitable for drinking. This presumes that the water treatment infrastructure in Gaza, which Hamas is responsible for maintaining, is not being adequately maintained. Hamas, which, as a matter of priority, seems to have money for drugs, doesn't, as a matter of priority, seem to have money for the maintenance water treatment plants. This is my premise in principle, and it has nothing to do with transactional value of each proposed instance of procurement.

This is the long version of what I said in the OP. I can't believe I had to go into this protracted explanation, but here it is. Sorry, I cannot make it any easier for you to grasp.
