President Joe Biden’s administration gave Hamas $75 million just a few days before the attack on Israel and after learning that a terrorist attack was imminent.
The money was quietly funneled to Hamas in a quiet move that was completely overlooked by Republican lawmakers.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken approved the release of $75 million in funding for Hamas-controlled Gaza.
