Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has released official Hamas documents found by the IDF in the Gaza Strip that prove Hamas’s direct involvement in the funding and execution of the Sumud flotilla to Gaza.
While Hamas in the Gaza Strip is responsible for what goes on within its borders, the terrorist organization also has internationally placed branches responsible for its activity abroad. The Palestinian Conference for Palestinians Abroad (PCPA) organization is one such branch, linked to Hamas and serving as a wing of the movement.
The PCPA was established in 2018 and functions as Hamas’s representative body abroad, operating as its embassies.
The organization operates under the pretense of civilian cover and is responsible for mobilizing actions against Israel, including violent demonstrations, marches against Israel, and demonstration and provocation flotillas on behalf of Hamas. Israel designated the PCPA as a terrorist organization in 2021 due to it being a wing of Hamas.
