Israel Claims U.S. Evangelical Christian Charity Sent Funds to Hamas

HeadlineAug 05, 2016

The Israeli government has accused a representative of a U.S. evangelical Christian charity of providing millions in aid money to Hamas. Israel arrested Mohammad El Halabi, World Vision’s manager of operations in Gaza, last month. He has been held incommunicado by Israeli authorities since then and accused of funneling more than $50 million to Hamas in his decade working for World Vision. World Vision has denied the allegations and said that the amount of money Israel claims was given to Hamas exceeds World Vision’s total budget for Gaza during that time. Hamas has also denied the Israeli government’s claim.
