During the war on Gaza, a network of businessmen established a monopolistic system for coordinating the entry of goods and aid, earning over $1 billion over two years. Ibrahim al-Argany, owner of Sons of Sinai, controls the Egyptian line, while others manage the Israeli line, leading to skyrocketing commodity prices amid famine. The system relies on Israeli permits and partnerships with Palestinian companies, with repeated changes in the mechanism.
