Zaher Jabarin
Zaher Jabarin (Arabic: زاهر جبارين; born 18 September 1968) is a member of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas). and Hamas financial administrator.
He has led the Hamas Financial Bureau since the mid-2010s, managing the group's investment portfolio, estimated to be over $500 million. The financial network Jabarin oversees raises, invests, and launders money destined for Hamas military operations in the West Bank and Gaza Strip via networks in Turkey, Lebanon, and the Persian Gulf.
With Saleh al-Arouri, Jabarin was one of the co-founders of Hamas' military wing in the West Bank in the late 1980s. In 1993, Jabarin was arrested and an Israeli military court sentenced him to life imprisonment plus 35 years for killing Israelis during the First Intifada. Jabarin was released as part of the Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange in 2011, after which he assumed leadership of the Hamas Financial Bureau from his base in Istanbul, Turkey. He was also head of the Office of Martyrs, Wounded, and Prisoners for Hamas.
During the Gaza war, after al-Arouri was killed in Dahieh on 2 January 2024, Jabarin succeeded him as Hamas' leader in the West Bank. Jabarin was allegedly responsible for the resumption of Hamas' planning and incitement of suicide bombings in 48-Israel and the West Bank, including the Lehi Street bombing in Tel Aviv on 18 August 2024, as the group's capabilities in Gaza diminished and Hamas leaders were assassinated.
Jabarin was born on 18 September 1968, in Salfit, in the area also known as Samaria, in the West Bank region of occupied Palestine.
Jabarin studied Islamic law at Al-Najah University in Nablus. He got involved in politics as a student.
Jabarin's mother died while he was in prison, and his father died while he was in exile. When Jabarin left prison (as part of the Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange) he was not allowed to see his father before leaving the country.
Jabarin joined Hamas in 1987 and helped to found the Qassam Brigades, Hamas's military wing, leading its expansion into the northern West Bank. During the First Intifada, Jabarin led a youth brigade called "The Shooting Squads". He was credited for recruiting Yahya Ayyash, an expert in IEDs and one of the planners of the abduction and killing of Nissim Toledano.
