Under President Joe Biden, the federal government has dished out hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants to Gaza and West Bank-based groups with ties to terror factions, including Hamas, records show.
On Thursday, the United States and Qatar agreed to restrict Iran from accessing $6 billion the Biden administration released in September from South Korea in exchange for American prisoners following members of Congress raising national security concerns. U.S. and Israeli officials are still reviewing allegations that Iran helped train Hamas before the attack after reports on the matter.
House Republicans in September notably called on the State Department in late September to investigate its move to award $90,000 combined in grants to the Phoenix Center for Research and Field Studies, which is located in Gaza. The demand came after a Washington Examiner report on research from the Israel-based watchdog NGO Monitor finding the center has partnered with leaders of Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, two U.S.-designated terror groups.
The attorney is now investigations director for America First Legal, a group staffed by Trump administration officials that is suing Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken for"illegally subsidizing terrorism" and purportedly skirting the Taylor Force Act. Federal law bars the U.S. government from funneling taxpayer funds to the Palestinian Authority, which operates in Gaza, until the PA quits its"Pay to Slay" program that allocates money to terrorists and their families.
Between September 2022 and December 2023, the State Department has a $41,000 agreement with Fares Al-Arab, a charity in Gaza, for a journalism program. Fares Al-Arab reportedly worked with Hamas on a housing project, among other terror-tied partnerships.
