Sen. Marsha Blackburn on Wednesday will step up her fight against President Joe Biden’s request for more American taxpayer aid to Gaza, which she argues will benefit Hamas, Breitbart News has learned.
According to the statement, Biden has already sent the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees around $1 billion despite knowing there would be a high risk of Hamas benefitting. Biden is seeking $105 billion in Ukraine and Israel funding, with $9 billion to go towards “humanitarian aid,” including for the Gaza Strip.“It is clear that U.S. aid intended for the Palestinian people has repeatedly ended up in the hands of terrorists,” Blackburn said at the time. “UNRWA teachers and educational materials call for the murder of Jews, and the Biden administration should immediately halt all funding for the agency. The U.S. government should not be funding terrorists.
Furthermore, Blackburn argues that the UNRWA is a pro-Hamas organization, pointing to UNRWA officials — such as pediatrician Bashir Khamis Ghannam — celebrating the October 7 terrorist attackers as “martyrs of the Islamic and Arab nation,” as well as educational materials at UNRWA schools calling for the murder of Jews and glorifying terrorism and antisemitism.
