NEW YORK POST Mark Dubowitz and Ben Cohen: USAID was rotten, but Trump needs the ‘soft power’ of foreign aid done right. Perhaps the best illustration of how USAID has misused its funding is found in the Middle East. In 2024, as the region reeled from the aftermath of the bestial atrocities committed by Hamas in Israel the previous year, the United States significantly boosted its financial support for projects in Gaza and the West Bank, spending more than $200 million of American taxpayers’ money in territories already rife with terrorist incitement and activity.

FREE BEACON At USAID, Funding for Terror-Tied Groups and Internal Hostility Toward Israel Goes Back Years In November 2022, for instance, USAID awarded $100,000 to a Palestinian activist group whose leaders hailed the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a designated terror group. Just six days before Hamas’s Oct. 7 assault on Israel, USAID handed $900,000 “to a terror charity in Gaza involved with the son of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.”…A February report from the Middle East Forum think tank found that USAID had awarded “millions of federal dollars” to “organizations directly in Gaza controlled by Hamas.” In one Biden-era case, USAID funded an “educational and community center in Gaza” controlled by a local group called the Unlimited Friends Association.
