On Tuesday’s PBS NewsHour, Matan Eshet, cousin of Israeli hostage Evyatar David, said Hamas is emboldened when the international community ignores the terrorist group’s theft and exploitation of humanitarian aid entering Gaza.
Senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad openly celebrated that fruits of October 7—the terrorist attack that murdered over 1,200 Israelis—are now producing political gains in the West.
President Trump suggested that the United States will increase its involvement in the conflict in Gaza because "you have a lot of starving people," he told reporters in Scotland.
Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil refused to condemn Hamas during a CNN interview on Tuesday, despite repeated questioning from anchor Pamela Brown. Khalil, previously detained by the Trump administration for pro-Hamas-aligned protests, dismissed the inquiry as “disingenuous” and accused Israel of targeting civilians.
The Department of Justice and U.S. Attorney’s Office for D.C. have moved to seize around $2 million in digital currency tied to a Gaza-based terror finance network. The funds, held in accounts managed by Tether and Binance, allegedly connected with Buy Cash Money and Money Transfer Company (BuyCash), a financial services provider accused of channeling money to Hamas and other extremist organizations.
