The FBI has accused the British Muslim charity Al-Khair Foundation of operating as a front to transfer money and goods to Hamas leaders in Gaza under the guise of humanitarian aid, according to an investigation by The Telegraph. The foundation is one of the largest Muslim charities in the UK.
The Telegraph reported on Saturday that the FBI alleges Al-Khair Foundation, a prominent British Muslim charity, was used to funnel money and trucks of goods to Hamas leaders in Gaza under the guise of humanitarian aid. The foundation is accused of acting as a front for the designated terrorist organization.
The Zioneer has previously reported on related cases of Hamas financing via charitable fronts. In August, a Turkish national was arrested in the UK at the request of the United States on suspicion of using a fake humanitarian organization to funnel funds to Hamas. Additionally, IDF officers have disclosed that Iran uses commercial shipments entering Gaza as a mechanism to fund Hamas, with the terror group seizing goods to bolster its military infrastructure.
The allegations are based on a single investigation and have not yet been independently corroborated by additional sources.
