It looks like Hamas "negotiators" were trying to add to a slush fund/buy more rockets/pocket bribes or something.
An Egyptian security official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, said the group initially refused to be searched by Egyptian authorities at the Rafah border crossing. When the group relented, authorities found $7 million and 2 million euros ($2.5 million) in cash in their suitcases. Another security official, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said $9 million and 2 million euros were found. The discrepancy could not be immediately explained.
My money is on cash funneled out of pro-Hamas groups that they were taking into Gaza for either bribes or bomb making material.
