Senator Tom Cotton, a Republican from Arkansas, has raised concerns about the potential diversion of American taxpayer funds to Hamas. Cotton's letter to the head of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) highlighted the possibility that some of the $1 billion in aid sent to Gaza may have ended up in the hands of Hamas, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization.
The senator criticized the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for its alleged ties to Hamas terrorists, calling for an immediate halt to all aid to Gaza. Cotton expressed worries about the misuse of humanitarian aid and suggested that the Biden-Harris administration may have inadvertently supported Israel's enemies through aid funding.
