Bashar Masri, a Palestinian-American billionaire, is facing a lawsuit from nearly 200 families of U.S. victims of the Hamas attack on October 7, along with Israel's ambassador, for allegedly aiding Hamas by facilitating the construction of critical infrastructure in Gaza. The lawsuit claims Masri provided electricity to tunnels used by Hamas and supported its operational legitimacy. This lawsuit highlights the complex intertwining of business, international relations, and terrorism, reflecting on Masri's previously respected position in Washington and his past advocacy roles.
On and after October 7, Defendants provided electricity to Hamas and specifically to Hamas attack tunnels built under and into Defendants' properties.
Defendants provided services that legitimized Hamas and gave its operations under and within Defendants' properties greater protection from Israeli and U.S. action.
