USAID provided significant funding that benefited the Hamas terrorist organization during the war that began with the October 7 massacres well as other Islamist terrorist organizations, it was claimed during a Congressional hearing yesterday (Wednesday).

The hearing, titled ‘America Last: How Foreign Aid Undermined U.S. Interests Around the World,’ was held by the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform’s Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency, and dealt with the recent revelations of waste and corruption at the USAID organization that were made public by DOGE’s investigations.

Middle East Forum Executive Director Gregg Roman addressed the committee members about USAID’s funding for terrorist organizations in the Middle East and beyond.

When asked by Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) what terrorist organizations USAID has funded in addition to the Taliban, Roman responded, “We have assisted Al-Shabab in Somalia, there’s been instances of the Hamzi network in Sudan, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Kata’ib Hezbollah, Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham in Syria. Dozens of terror organizations have received indirect assistance from US foreign aid.”
