Palestinian-American Kennedy school board member resigns after lawsuit alleged "aiding and abetting" Hamas

Bashar Masri, a Palestinian and naturalized American citizen and a billionaire developer, has stepped down as a board member from Harvard's Kennedy school following a lawsuit alleging that he "aided and abetted" Hamas terrorist infrastructure with his projects in Gaza, according to the New York Post.

The school said that the allegations, which claim that Masri was "allegedly aiding the construction of tunnels and rocket launchers at Gaza-based properties" were "serious" and "should be vetted and addressed through the legal process."

Masri also stands accused of allowing October 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar the use of his facilities in Gaza, which he helped develop with US funding along with the "futuristic" city in Rawabi in Judea and Samaria.

Masri is one of several individuals and institutions sued by families of victims of October 7, murdered and hostages alike, for complicity in either aiding and facilitating October 7.

Once hailed as a figure of the future for the Palestinians, a developer believing in secular and technocratic values, he now stands accused of having aided a deeply fundamentalist movement aimed not at helping their own people but in ruining their enemies.
