After an outcry from the Palestinian public, Hamas fined the son of one of its leaders in a case of corruption within its own ranks.
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Hamas released Sept. 23 the results of an investigation in the case of Anas Radwan, son of Hamas leader Ismail Radwan. Anas was traveling illegally to perform hajj in Mecca on Aug. 5 with the parents and close relatives of Palestinians who were killed in armed confrontations with the Israeli army. The case has occupied Palestinian public opinion.
Every year, the Saudi Arabia Ministry of Hajj and Umra hosts for free 1,000 people from the families, sons and siblings of Palestinian martyrs.
