Amid the destruction and pain that spared neither people nor stones, the story of businessman Essam Al-Arjani, a close associate of Sisi, emerges as a symbol of exploiting Palestinians through imposing levies and reaping profits at the expense of their anguish.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cHala\u201d company, owned by Al-Arjani, was one of the tools used by the regime to tighten the noose on Gazans. Documented reports revealed the imposition of exorbitant fees on Palestinians leaving through the Rafah crossing, amounting to $5,000 per person and $10,000 per truck carrying goods into the Strip.<\/p>\n<p>With the war&#8217;s cessation and discussions about reconstruction beginning, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2024\/02\/05\/shadow-operations-unmasking-ibrahim-al-arjani-sisis-enforcer-in-gazas-strangulation\/\">Al-Arjani<\/a> wasted no time entering a new race for profits. The Al-Arjani Group announced its readiness to participate in reconstruction projects, sparking a wave of anger and controversy in Gaza. Local residents have not forgotten the extortion they endured during the war, viewing Al-Arjani&#8217;s involvement as a continuation of plundering the Strip\u2019s resources and exploiting its humanitarian crises.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6123\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6123\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6123 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/The-Story-of-Ibrahim-Al-Arjani-Sisis-Right-hand-Man-in-Strangling-the-Gaza-Strip-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\" Abdel Fattah el-Sisi\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/The-Story-of-Ibrahim-Al-Arjani-Sisis-Right-hand-Man-in-Strangling-the-Gaza-Strip-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/The-Story-of-Ibrahim-Al-Arjani-Sisis-Right-hand-Man-in-Strangling-the-Gaza-Strip-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/The-Story-of-Ibrahim-Al-Arjani-Sisis-Right-hand-Man-in-Strangling-the-Gaza-Strip-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/The-Story-of-Ibrahim-Al-Arjani-Sisis-Right-hand-Man-in-Strangling-the-Gaza-Strip-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/The-Story-of-Ibrahim-Al-Arjani-Sisis-Right-hand-Man-in-Strangling-the-Gaza-Strip-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/The-Story-of-Ibrahim-Al-Arjani-Sisis-Right-hand-Man-in-Strangling-the-Gaza-Strip-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/The-Story-of-Ibrahim-Al-Arjani-Sisis-Right-hand-Man-in-Strangling-the-Gaza-Strip-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/The-Story-of-Ibrahim-Al-Arjani-Sisis-Right-hand-Man-in-Strangling-the-Gaza-Strip.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6123\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Al-Arjani Group and Abdel Fattah el-Sisi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The VIP service promoted by Al-Arjani&#8217;s companies, with prices starting at $8,000 for those wishing to leave Gaza via the Rafah crossing, underscores the exploitative and extortionist policies of the Egyptian regime.
