For example, Hamas members serving the
municipalities of Beit Hanun and Deir al-Balah are well
educated, non-ideological, uncorrupted and responsive to the
needs of their constituencies. In one instance, according to
Jolle, newly elected Hamas members immediately impounded and
then sold municipality vehicles previously given out on the
basis of personal connections to those in power rather than
professional need. Hamas members elected to professional
associations in Gaza have proven to be competent and
committed to democratic practices in governing these
organizations. Nevertheless, Jolle said he and his
government are still wary of Hamas's intentions and remain
uncomfortable attributing anything positive to what they
still consider to be a terrorist organization.
