HUGE BREAKING: Major Lawsuit Filed Over Oct. 7 Hamas Attack
Families of American victims of the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre have filed a giant federal lawsuit in Washington, D.C. against Palestinian-American billionaire Bashar Masri and four of his companies.
Let's break it down 🧵
🔸️The suit accuses Masri of aiding and abetting Hamas by embedding terror infrastructure inside so-called “economic development” projects in Gaza.
🔸️Masri allegedly used his reputation to secure millions in funding from USAID, the World Bank, the UN, the EU, and others.
🔸️Plaintiffs claim he secretly partnered with Hamas to build tunnels, hide rockets, and host terrorist operations beneath flagship properties.
🔸️The Gaza Industrial Estate, located near the Israeli border, allegedly housed attack tunnels, served as a staging ground for the October 7 invasion, and diverted solar energy from donor-funded infrastructure to power Hamas’s underground network.
🔸️Masri’s luxury hotels — including the Blue Beach and the Al Mashtal (rebranded “Ayan Hotel”) — allegedly served as Hamas command centers, with tunnels accessible from guest rooms and direct ties to military training facilities.
🔸️Senior Hamas officials, including Yahya Sinwar, are said to have operated out of these sites, using them for planning and launching attacks.
🔸️The complaint calls it a “grand deception” — Masri promoted peace and progress publicly, while enabling terror behind the scenes.
🔸️Plaintiffs argue this deception shielded key Hamas infrastructure from Israeli targeting and directly contributed to the scale and success of the October 7 massacre.
