OK around USD550 billion PPP basis. None the less that would be like us sending 22 billion dollars to help out 1 million people somewhere. Quite a bit of money. Moreover it's unlikely that Hamas has the mechanical ability to accept large amounts of aid, transparent or not. They are after all a paramilitary terrorist organization that doesn't generally open an NGO storefront with ties to commercial or national banks. Given that, aid from Iran will likely wind up as baksheesh or equipment eg. machinery, weapons, etc.
Hamas has been funded by Saudi Arabia for years, Iran can fund Hamas, but there is a legal claim Israel can have that they are a terrorist org. So i guess Iran can send the money to the PA or to Abbas, well anyhow there are ways to transfer the money.
and here is details of Iran's economy

Bloated economy but non the less improving thanks to higher oil prices.
I personally think it was a mistake to cut funding to Hamas, if Saudi Arabia and Kuwait also step up to increase funding for the short fall of American aid, things can get pretty ugly for American and Palestinian relations. It's even more interesting Russia jumping in to have some control over the peace process too.
Iran is more interested in investing money into violence against Israel. Hezbollah and Hamas are terrorist groups in addition to their humanitarian resources. Why would Iranians(Persians) support Arabs that are so far away? the only common ground Pals and Iranians have is hate of Israel.
Iran helped Hezbollah to protect shia's of Lebanon, they helped Hamas for their civilian population since they are in power now, Iran doesn't like Israel, that's no secret but they are not funding Hamas to kills Jewish civilians. Israel funds and trains Kurds who conduct terrorist activities too in Iraq, Iran and Turkey!
Iran's main concern is regional influence and the condition of shia Muslims. Iran doesn't need Hamas, nor do they need to fund Hamas for terrorism, Hezbollah is more than capable to do 10 x the damage Hamas could only imagine to Israeli civilians.
Mind you Hezbollah’s military wing is a terrorist org. their political wing isn’t. Hamas should be the same. Also both are not recognised terrorist org’s by the UN, just by America and the EU.
Yeah unfortunately that's a rather meaningless distinction. Hezbollah and Hamas use their purported social action organizations as recruitment tools for terrorism. It's the friendly face of terrorism and we chose, not them, to turn a blind eye to.

Look at it this way, the Palestinians have little to lose, they are already very poor, Israel is the one losing the foreign investment and they are the ones who would suffer the most from another Israel Palestinian infidela. I heard even the church is pulling out investment from Jerusalem!
Sweden isn't helping much i tell you that! most of it comes from France, Germany, UK and Italy. Also from Japan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and America.im ashamed to live in europe... just found out that we have been the biggest funder to the PA

Thank you. I appreciate it. Now what is wrong with that? And by the way, you only showed evidence that Israel helped train Kurds in Iraq, hardly the statement that Israel "funds and trains Kurds who conduct terrorist activities too in Iraq, Iran and Turkey!"
Oh no! Not the Church!!!!! Well, considering Israel is a Jewish State, I'm not sad to see them go. And its funny you called it the "infidela" LOL! Freudian slip? You should have called it the Palestinian "impotenta".
Actually, Israel has been gaining foreign investment in the last two years, not losing it.
