More flexibility from the international community would ease their difficulties, but meanwhile Hamas must manage to fill its coffers or risk having that opprobrium turned its way. And there is scarce room for maneuver: Tel Aviv has suspended monthly payments of approximately $50 million in tax revenues, and won't talk to Hamas until it halts all attacks on Israel - including those by other factions.
