The Birkin Bag of Yahya Sinwar’s Wife

By

The IDF has published video of Yahya Sinwar and his family making their way through underground tunnels the day before 3,800 Hamas combatants, joined by 2,200 Gazan civilians out for some fun, raped, tortured, mutilated, and murdered 1,200 Israelis and took 251 hostages back to Gaza. In the video, we see Sinwar’s wife carrying a Birkin bag that sells for $32,000. No doubt she’s still got it. More about her expensive status symbol can be found here: “Sinwar’s Wife Seen Holding $32,000 Hermès Bag,” JNS.org, October 20, 2024:

The Israel Defense Forces released footage on Saturday showing the wife of recently deceased Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar making her way through a tunnel carrying a $32,000 Hermès Birkin bag.

She is seen walking behind her husband and children the day before the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, in which 1,200 were slaughtered and 251 taken hostage.

The footage was posted to X by Lt. Col. Avichay Adraee, head of the Arab media division of the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit.

“While the people of Gaza do not have enough money for a tent or basic necessities, we see many examples of Yahya Sinwar and his wife’s special love for money,” Adraee posted in Arabic….

At his death, Yahya Sinwar was worth an estimated $3 billion. That’s about the same amount that the three other leaders of Hamas, Khaled Meshaal, Mousa Abu Marzouk, and the late Ismail Haniyeh managed to squirrel away.

So brave Yahya Sinwar, defiant-to-the-end (so Hamas wants us to believe) Yahya Sinwar, self-sacrificing for his people Yahya Sinwar, is also, it turns out, a doting husband, a uxorious kind of guy who wants to treat his wife right. Nothing is too good for her. An Hermès bag would cheer up any wife who has to face living underground for an indeterminate period. Right now, she is somewhere in Gaza, in a tunnel or above ground, carrying her Hermès Birkin 40 Black Togo Gold Hardware, the one with “tonal stitching, two straps with front toggle closure, clochette with lock and two keys and double rolled handles” and with the “interior line lined in black chevre with one zip pocket with an Hermès engraved zipper pull and an open pocket on the opposite side.” Gosh, even without her husband, Mrs. Sinwar is feeling better already, as she opens and counts the cash inside, and then shuts her Birkin bag.

Which brings us to the little matter of Palestinian leaders and the money they steal from the people they pretend to care about. There was Yasser Arafat, who was believed to have stolen from aid money intended for the Palestinians between two and three billion dollars, but by the time of his death was down to his last billion dollars, money that has still not been found. His widow, however — he married her, it seems, to put paid to rumors of Arafat’s penchant for young boys — lives happily in Paris, where she has apparently been living on the interest of hundreds of millions of dollars in bank accounts that she is said to possess. She, of course, denies having anything like such sums.

And then there is Mahmoud Abbas, entering the 19th year of his four-year term as President of the Palestinian Authority. For years it was believed he had “only” stolen $100 million from the PA aid money, but the most recent estimates place his fortune at half a billion dollars. It is unclear if that includes the sums amassed by his two sons Tarek and Yasser. $500 million is not a bad haul, but it doesn’t measure up to what the three long-time leaders of Hamas have managed to amass.

Those three are the late Ismail Haniyeh, who at his death was worth $4 billion; Khaled Meshaal, who is worth $4 billion, and lives in luxury in Doha; and Mousa Abu Marzouk, now also living in comparable luxury in Doha, after having moved from New Cairo, Egypt, in 2023. He is worth slightly less, but a still impressive $3 billion. So between those three, they have stolen from the people of Gaza eleven billion dollars. In addition, hundreds of lower-level officials of Hamas have been allowed to steal enough to become multi-millionaires.

Yahya Sinwar, the fourth Hamas leader, and the only one who remained in Gaza, had a net worth at his death of $3 billion. In the same ballpark as Meshaal, Marzouk, and Haniyeh. Make that a total of $14 billion that the four of them have stolen.

Does anyone at the UN, or at the US State Department, or at the BBC, NPR, MSNBC, or at The New York Times, The Washington Post, or The Guardian care about this grand theft of donor aid meant for the Palestinians, theft that started with Arafat, and includes, at the Palestinian Authority, President-For-Life Mahmoud Abbas, and at Hamas, Khaled Meshaal, Mousa Abu Marzouk, the late Ismail Haniyeh, and the late Yahya Sinwar?

As for that $32,000 Hermès Birkin bag that Yahya Sinwar’s wife took with her into the Gazan underworld, let’s not taunt her about it. It’s enough that the world is starting to understand from such a revelation just how much money the Hamas big shots have stolen. Imagine being married to Yahya Sinwar. Imagine having to spend time with Yahya Sinwar. Imagine doing anything that a wife might be called upon to do if her husband is Yahya Sinwar. As for that bag with “tonal stitching, two straps with front toggle closure, clochette with lock and two keys and double rolled handles” and with the “interior line lined in black chevre with one zip pocket with an Hermès engraved zipper pull and an open pocket on the opposite side” — well, she’s earned it, and then some.

  1. What idiot in his/her right mind would pay 32 grand for a carry on bag anyway.
    At least that dirt bag made Mohammed proud, glad he is dead though

    • Those people have too much money which sometimes does not belong to them, stolen from other people. They are proud to show how much money they have.
      And people are so stupid that they can not see that the money comes from stealing and are respecting those thieves because of the money.

    • I’m not into status goods like these–but if someone spends their own money on them I am fine with it. But using stolen money to buy goods from people youu would murder if you have the chance? Rather different…

  2. Kind of like what’s her face of the Philippines who had 3 thousand pairs of shoes. Some people live and raise families on less than this mozlum spent on a bag. A bag she couldn’t even show off in public because she was married to a coward; a murderous coward and a thief. Surely the money he had on him, the money spent for the bag, and whatever else he had was stolen, which makes him a thief.

    What sane individual spends that kind of money on a “bag”? Kind of like aoc spending thousands on an ugly dress. What fools people are.

    And what monsters those mozlum terrorists. Let the reaping begin.
    Revelation 14;15

    • Don’t ever be surprised about women and handbags !
      Interesting that Queen Elizabeth used exactly the same style of black handbag for years. Makes her almost abnormal.

      • I have spent as much as 12$ for a purse, but it was the cheapest the store had. And it worked to carry what I needed.
        The Queen’s looked like the same purse, year after year. Probably held a lace hanky and maybe a small mirror. No need for id or money.

  3. $32,000 bag in a tunnel. Maybe that bag was worth more to Mrs. Sinwar than Yahya.

    There is more unaccountable money in war than any other endeavor. It flows like blood from a thousand fetid cuts to infect all it touches.

  6. According to the feature article:

    “At his death, Yahya Sinwar was worth an estimated $3 billion.”

    All that money – and he still got taken out by the IDF.

    • She can carry around her husband balls in that bag after the IDF where done with him.

  8. $32,000 Birkin bag bought with foreign aid money. Billions stolen by Hamas for their war vs Israel. Why complain about a missing $32,000 then?

  9. It is kind of funny how things have changed. Used to be a Leader lead from out front, now they all seem to lead from a tunnel or a bunker.

  11. The Birkin Bag of Yahya Sinwar’s Wife
    ……………………………………………

    These Jihadist thugs always live it up with Infidel goods.

  12. No wonder why his wife wore the $32000 Birkin bag in an underground bunker. What would the Palestinians think if they saw her showing it off above ground around Gaza City?
