The U.S. Funded Anti-Netanyahu NGOs
(U.S. House Judiciary Committee) The House Judiciary Committee released a memo on Thursday detailing how the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the State Department, and other federal agencies funded organizations in Israel opposed to Prime Minister Netanyahu, as well as terrorist groups. Israeli NGO Blue White Future received funds from U.S. grant recipients and funded the coalition headquarters for the anti-Netanyahu judicial reform protest. The U.S. provided $42,000 to Israeli NGO Movement for Quality Government to conduct "Civic Activism Training" in Israeli high schools. U.S. nonprofit PEF Israel Endowment Funds provided $884 million to groups involved in anti-administration protests in Israel. U.S. nonprofit Jewish Communal Fund (JCF) provided $42.8 million to the anti-Netanyahu protest headquarters in Israel and the protests' two main funders. The Committee's investigation is ongoing and is expanding to include additional American and Israeli NGOs that may be involved in funneling U.S. government funds with the purpose of undermining the Israeli government or for the support or fiscal sponsorship of terrorist groups.
