Meanwhile, in Texas, the retrial of a former Muslim charity accused of terrorism financing has begun. The now-defunct Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development is accused of being a front to raise funds for Hamas. A mistrial was declared last year after jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict. The Holy Land Foundation was once the largest Muslim charity in the United States. It collected donations for local committees providing humanitarian aid in the West Bank and Gaza. The case relied on Israeli intelligence and disputed documents and electronic surveillance gathered by the FBI over a span of fifteen years.
