Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh is associated with a Gaza charity that raked in nearly $1 million from the US federal government.
A Gaza-based nonprofit tied to the son of a Hamas leader received nearly $1 million in aid from the US government — with one grant arriving less than a week before the Oct. 7 terrorist strikes on Israel, according to a report.
Bayader for Environment and Development Association has secured $900,000 from the US Agency for International Development (USAID) over seven years.
The most recent grant, for $15,219, was paid out on Oct,.1, 2023, six days before the Hamas attacks on Israel which left 1,200 Israelis dead.
Bayader, which works to help children and rehabilitate polluted areas in Gaza, according to its website, is associated with Abdul Salam Haniyeh — a son of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who organized the terror attack on Israel, according to a report last week from
Middle East Forum, a Philadelphia-based think tank.
