Foreign donations to American universities surged during the Biden administration, with Qatar, the largest source of such funding in the past 40 years, and China, the second-largest, significantly ramping up their donations.
According to a new report from the Network Contagion Research Institute shared exclusively with <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/explosion-in-foreign-funding-for-american-universities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Free Press</a>, the amount of foreign funding for American universities during the Biden administration — $29 million —  equaled the total over the last forty years.
“The floodgates opened during the Biden era,” NCRI’s co-founder Joel Finkelstein told The Free Press. &#8220;This isn’t just a financial issue—it’s a national security crisis. Hostile powers are buying influence on American campuses at an industrial scale.”
Last week, President Donald Trump signed an <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/transparency-regarding-foreign-influence-at-american-universities/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">executive order</a> that required institutions of higher education to “report significant sources of foreign funding,” while noting, “But, because section 117 has not been robustly enforced, the true amounts, sources, and purposes of foreign money flowing to American campuses are unknown. From 2010 to 2016, according to one study, universities failed to disclose more than half of reportable foreign gifts. Even when foreign funding is reported, its true sources are often hidden.”
Trump pointed out that during his first term, “the Department of Education opened investigations on 19 campuses from 2019-2021, which led universities to report $6.5 billion in previously undisclosed foreign funds. Yet the prior administration undid this work, moving the Department of Education’s specialized investigatory work on foreign funds to a unit ill-equipped to perform it, undermining investigations, and hindering public access to information on foreign gifts and contracts.”
The order authorized the Secretary of Education to “take appropriate steps to require universities to more specifically disclose details about foreign funding, including the true source and purpose of the funds,” while adding that the “Secretary and the Attorney General shall hold accountable higher education institutions that fail to comply with the law concerning disclosure of foreign funding.”
“<a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/10/american-universities-continue-to-underreport-foreign-money/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A 2024 study</a> published by the National Association of Scholars found that universities failed to disclose at least $1 billion in foreign funding since Biden took office, the majority of which came from authoritarian countries such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey,” The Free Press reported, adding, “While Qatar holds the designation of a <a href="https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/2917336/major-non-nato-ally-designation-will-enhance-us-qatar-relationship/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">major non-NATO ally</a> of the United States, the country is also known for <a href="https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2023/12/19/10-things-to-know-about-hamas-and-qatar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">harboring the leaders</a> of Hamas and <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/world/middle-east/article/qataris-are-exporting-political-islam-to-west-vgcs9fnsv?region=global" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exporting political Islamism</a>, including by supporting the Muslim Brotherhood, across the Middle East.”
The NCRI analysis examined donations disclosed to the federal government, as required by law for donations of more than $250,000. This means that a significant amount of undisclosed funds may also be being donated. The Free Press <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/campus-rage-middle-eastern-roots-qatar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previously reported</a> that 200 or more American colleges and universities illegally withheld information regarding an estimated $13 billion in undisclosed contributions from foreign countries.
“An official on Trump’s antisemitism task force told The Free Press that they are actively investigating ‘alleged connections between foreign malign actors and student groups on campus.’” The Free Press revealed. “The official said the task force was scrutinizing connections between both student groups and faculty who have ties to universities such as Birzeit in the West Bank, which Israeli officials have <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-arrests-8-palestinian-students-suspected-of-planning-terror-attack/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previously accused</a> of having <a href="https://www.ynetnews.com/article/sjhksv5o0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ties to Hamas</a>.”
Last year, an NCRI <a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/social-psychology/articles/10.3389/frsps.2024.1408913/full">study</a> in Frontiers of Social Psychology found “providing massive financial support to campuses with ascendant illiberalism serves the interests of foreign actors hostile to the U.S. in particular or liberal democracy in general.”
“It is notable that the universities exploding with anti-Israel protests have the strongest relationships with governments whose national interests are at direct odds with the United States,” The Free Press concluded.

President Donald Trump is set to visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates next month in his second foreign trip of this term, the White House announced Tuesday. The trip is scheduled to take place from May 13 to May 16.
“The president looks to strengthen ties between the United States and these countries in which he will be visiting,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday during a press briefing. “He’ll be having many bilateral meetings and talks, and we look forward to the trip.”
Trump’s Middle East trip was supposed to be his first foreign visit of this term, but he will now attend Pope Francis’ funeral in Rome later this week.
The trips come as Trump seeks new deals with foreign countries amid his tariff pause and signals his growing relationship with the Gulf countries.
In March, Trump announced that Saudi Arabia committed to investing $1 trillion into the American economy.
“I made a deal with Saudi Arabia. &#8230; I said I&#8217;ll go if you pay $1 trillion to American companies, meaning the purchase over a four-year period of $1 trillion, and they&#8217;ve agreed to do that,” Trump said, <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/saudi-arabia-takes-risky-gamble-trumps-america-opinion-2047288" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Newsweek reported</a>.
Also in March, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-secures-1-4-trillion-uae-investment-deal-for-american-industries" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UAE committed</a> to investing $1.4 trillion in American energy, manufacturing, and technology over the next decade.
“This new framework will substantially increase the UAE’s existing investments in the U.S. economy in AI infrastructure, semiconductors, energy, and American manufacturing,” the White House said in a statement announcing the framework.
Saudi Arabia was the first country Trump visited during his first term in 2017, where a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/picture-trump-saudi-arabia-glowing-orb-setting-aaron-bandler" target="_blank" rel="noopener">viral image was</a> captured of him touching an orb alongside Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi at the opening of the Global Centre for Combating Extremist Ideology.

During his first term, Trump had a strong working relationship with several Gulf states, which led to the Abraham Accords between the UAE, Israel, and Bahrain. The Trump administration has hoped to expand the accords even further to include Saudi Arabia, though the ongoing war in Israel has made any such negotiations more complex.

In the face of claims that Qatar — which hosted the leaders of Hamas at the time of the terrorist group&#8217;s October 7 massacre of more than 1200 people in Israel — should be a factor in achieving peace in the Middle East, Qatari deputy prime minister and defense affairs minister Sa&#8217;oud bin Abd Al-Rahman Al Thani reportedly posted on X this week, “We Are all Hamas… Oh Al-Quds, revolt and commemorate Al-Qassam!”
“The Qatari minister quickly deleted the post, along with other posts endorsing Hamas, in an attempt to erase his history of support for the terrorist group,” The Jerusalem Post <a href="https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-850443">reported</a>.
As Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) has reported, “Over the years, Al Thani posted messages in which he supported Hamas, incited against Israel, and criticized the US and President Donald Trump. He also called to increase Qatar&#8217;s influence on decision-makers in the US.”
Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser, head of the Qatar Foundation and mother of the current Emir of Qatar, praised former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar after Israel killed him, saying, he would live and the Jews of Israel would be gone, as she said, “The name Yahya means the one who lives. They thought he died, but he lives. Like his namesake, Yahya bin Zakariya [John the Baptist], he will live on, and they will be gone.”
“Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed Al-Ansari also praised Hamas’s violence in the past,” the Post noted.
On October 7, Qatar’s foreign ministry released a <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/international/4243388-saudi-arabia-qatar-iran-blame-israel-hamas-attacks/">statement</a> that held “Israel alone responsible” for the massacre, writing, “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs holds Israel alone responsible for the current escalation due to this ongoing violations of the rights of the Palestinian people, the latest of which is the repeated raids on the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque under of the protection of Israeli police.”
After the October 7 massacre, Al Jazeera, which is owned by the Qatari government, “broadcast Hamas military chief Mohammad Deif’s call to arms. Al Jazeera also aired incendiary statements from Ismail Haniyeh and his deputy, Saleh al-Arouri. Haniyeh appeared on Al Jazeera praising Hamas’s ‘great triumph’ and calling on ‘the sons of this entire nation, in their various locations, to join this battle in any way they can,’” the Foundation for Defense of Democracies <a href="https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2023/12/19/10-things-to-know-about-hamas-and-qatar/">noted</a>.

Homeland Security <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/morning-brief-trumps-liberation-day-doge-pr-battle-self-deportation-push" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recently arrested</a> a Tufts University student, Rumeysa Ozturk, for engaging in “activities in support of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization that relishes the killing of Americans.”
While the Trump administration&#8217;s arrest of Ozturk is a move in the right direction, she is just one of countless students across the country who share a radical ideology.
Days after the first anniversary of the October 7 massacre which left 1,200 civilians dead, including 40 Americans, the New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/09/nyregion/columbia-pro-palestinian-group-hamas.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released</a> a chilling headline: &#8220;Pro-Palestinian Group at Columbia Now Backs ‘Armed Resistance’ by Hamas.&#8221;
The article claims a pro-Hamas student group at Columbia University marked the anniversary by distributing a <a href="https://newyorkwarcrimes.com/print-issue-vol-iii-no-13" target="_blank" rel="noopener">newspaper</a> titled “One Year Since Al-Aqsa Flood, Revolution Until Victory.” The headline was placed over an image of Hamas fighters breaching Israel&#8217;s security fence. Additionally, the student group published an essay describing the attack as a “moral, military, and political victory” and citing Ismail Haniyeh, the former political leader of Hamas hiding in Qatar who would later be assassinated. 
In 2024, encampments held by these same student groups multiplied on campuses across the country, from New York University to Harvard, Yale, UCLA, and many others.
How have American institutions come to the place where the mass slaughter of Westerners is celebrated on campus? 
A cursory glance at recent history reveals two driving factors: Mass Islamic migration to the West and mass funding from Islamic countries.
First, some clarification and some definitions. Radical Islam, or Islamism, is not the same as Islam. Rather, it is a radical offshoot that seeks, through political and often violent means, to establish a global caliphate where all citizens, Muslim or not, would be governed by a radical interpretation of Sharia law. While not all Muslims are Islamists, many who migrate are.
<h3>The Crusades</h3>
To truly understand the mindset of Islamists today, it is important to look back at the history of the Islamic empire. Since its rapid and bloody expansion in the 7th Century, the empire has clashed with the Western world a great many times in its pursuit for global dominance. The most famous example being the Crusades (1095-1300AD).
As Daily Wire commentator Michael Knowles <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAPeToyagqA">described</a> on a recent Piers Morgan panel, “The Crusades started because the Eastern Emperor requested help from the Western Pope. The Seljuk Turks were slaughtering Christians in the Holy Land, which had been Christian territory before the Muslim invasion in the 7th century.”
While the Holy Land may have remained in Muslim control at the conclusion of the Crusades, a greater victory was secured by the West that continues to define our world to this day: Islamic expansion was stopped from conquering all of Europe.
Fast forward nearly 1,300 years, and Islamists have yet to give up on the ambitions of their ancestors. Take Lebanon, for example. Once dominated by Maronite Christians, the mass migration and high birthrates of Muslim Arabs in Lebanese society over the 20th century eventually changed that. Today, Maronite Christians are a minority, and the nation is predominantly controlled by Hezbollah, a Shia Muslim terrorist organization.
They have now taken a new, alternative strategy when it comes to Europe and the West: mass migration.
<h3>Mass Migration</h3>
Over the past few decades, mass migration has overwhelmed many European countries.
In 2014, England’s Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2755654/The-changing-face-Britain-A-child-Birmingham-likely-Muslim-Christian.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published</a> a chilling headline; “The changing face of Britain: A child in Birmingham is now more likely to be a Muslim than Christian”. According to the 2011 census, the second largest city in England with a rich Christian history, had 97,099 Muslim Children growing up there, compared to 93,828 Christian children. 
Radical progressive and generous immigration policies, including England&#8217;s, are to blame for this trend. During a recent Q&amp;A session, Parliament Member and leader of Reform UK Nigel Farage did not <a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/HidQi4mq71U?si=jVaqhsDBuZqMvqgY" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hold back</a> when addressing the state of immigration in the UK:
<blockquote>From after the war up until the millennium, net immigration ran at 30,000 to 40,000 a year. And yes, it worked. In fact, we had the most successful immigration policies of any country in the whole of Europe—no question. Now, it is totally out of control. Just think about this: two and a half million people have come in the last two years … The numbers are now literally unimaginable and are diminishing the quality of life for everyone in this country.</blockquote>
Farage is correct. These policies have significantly worsened life for everyone living in England. A 2018 YouGov poll <a href="https://www.the-independent.com/news/uk/home-news/uk-no-go-zones-muslim-sharia-law-third-poll-hope-not-hate-far-right-economic-inequality-a8588226.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">found</a> that a third of England’s population believed there were areas in the UK they could not enter if they were not Muslim. Now, reports of predominantly Muslim grooming gangs allegedly <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/uk-new-inquiries-child-sexual-grooming-pressure-elon-musk-tweet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">terrorizing</a> young girls across the country for over a decade have made headlines, while the government turned a blind eye. Meanwhile, Islamic terror attacks remain a grim reality, with the <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4ngx3341ldo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">last</a> major incident occurring as recently as 2023.
England is not the only European country dealing with an immigration influx. A recent <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2024/08/19/muslim-migrants-around-the-world/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pew Research study</a> shows the top two European destinations for migrating Muslims are Germany and France. In both <a href="https://miwi-institut.de/archives/2461?_sm_nck=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Germany</a> and <a href="https://www.thelocal.fr/20171201/how-frances-muslim-population-will-grow-in-the-future" target="_blank" rel="noopener">France</a>, some estimates hold that by 2050 nearly one fifth of their respective populations will be Muslim if record high immigration patterns persist. 
North America is also grappling with mass Muslim migration. According to a <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2011/01/27/the-future-of-the-global-muslim-population/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2011 study</a> by Pew Research:
<blockquote>The number of Muslims in Canada is expected to nearly triple in the next 20 years, from about 940,000 in 2010 to nearly 2.7 million in 2030. Muslims are expected to make up 6.6% of Canada’s total population in 2030, up from 2.8%.</blockquote>
When an Islamist migrant was <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuL5pgW9f7g" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked</a> by a Rebel Media reporter if he would like to see Sharia law implemented in Canada, he replied:
<blockquote>At some point it will! You know because we are having families, we are making babies. You’re not. Your population is going down the slum, right? And by 2060 according to Pew Research institute, your research, by 2060, Muslims will be the biggest religious group.</blockquote>
<h3>Mass Funding</h3>
A key player in subverting their minds is funding. While some universities receive funding from the U.S. government, large dollar amounts are funneled in from foreign governments like Qatar, a major <a href="https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2023/12/19/10-things-to-know-about-hamas-and-qatar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">funder</a> of Hamas.
According to a 2022 study <a href="https://www.nas.org/reports/outsourced-to-qatar/full-report#_ftn1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a> by the National Association of Scholars, from 2001-2022 Qatar donated $4.7 billion into universities across the United States. As a direct result of Qatar’s funding, according to <a href="https://www.thelawfareproject.org/campus-discrimination/2020/5/15/qatari-influencing-american-education-system" target="_blank" rel="noopener">research</a> from the Lawfare Project, students across America are “learning about the Middle East in a biased way that emphasizes only the positive aspects of Islam while omitting a balanced discussion of other religions or belief systems, most notably Judaism.”
Imam Hasan al-Banna, the <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Hassan-al-Banna" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founder</a> of the Muslim brotherhood, an influential Islamist organization from Egypt, once shared his commitment to the next generation, “The youth are our hope and the backbone of our movement; train them in the principles of Islam, and they will carry the banner of reform into the future.”
If universities remain under the influence of foreign entities like Qatar, the next generation of college educated Westerners will not only fail to stop the spread of radical Islamists, they will inadvertently support their efforts.
Whether it be through mass migration, funding, or ideological subversion, Islamism is a force the West cannot afford to ignore. World leaders would do well to follow the actions of the Trump administration who have been cracking down on the threat since day one. The West deserves to stay Western, and only through political action can current pushes for a global caliphate be subdued.

The Trump administration, firmly committed to wiping out support for the terrorist group Hamas in America, is reportedly considering imposing sanctions on the international funders footing the bill for pro-Hamas protests.
Financial supporters of the terrorist group included prominent Qatari nationals, current and former United States officials told the <a href="https://freebeacon.com/trump-administration/trump-administration-weighs-sanctions-on-foreign-funders-of-pro-hamas-campus-protests/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Free Beacon</a>. In January, President Trump issued an Executive Order to Combat Anti-Semitism, which authorized the deportation of foreign students who participated in anti-Semitic demonstrations. The <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/01/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-takes-forceful-and-unprecedented-steps-to-combat-anti-semitism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fact sheet</a> accompanying the order featured the president saying, “To all the resident aliens who joined in the pro-jihadist protests, we put you on notice: come 2025, we will find you, and we will deport you. I will also quickly cancel the student visas of all Hamas sympathizers on college campuses, which have been infested with radicalism like never before.”
“President Trump has made it a priority to ensure that Jewish students, indeed all students, feel safe and free from harassment on college campuses,” one senior United States official told the Free Beacon. “To that end, his administration is taking a comprehensive approach, not just looking at the visas and green cards of student instigators, but also, for example, going after the people funding the protests, wherever they may be.”
It&#8217;s not just the Qataris funding the pro-Hamas groups. Last July, former Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines <a href="https://www.dni.gov/index.php/newsroom/press-releases/press-releases-2024/3842-statement-from-director-of-national-intelligence-avril-haines-on-recent-iranian-influence-efforts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a>, “Iranian government actors have sought to opportunistically take advantage of ongoing protests regarding the war in Gaza, using a playbook we’ve seen other actors use over the years. We have observed actors tied to Iran’s government posing as activists online, seeking to encourage protests, and even providing financial support to protesters.”
“This was on the menu when I was there, but the previous administration was a bit squeamish about taking extreme measures, like revoking visas,” said a former diplomat. “But that’s not a problem in this administration, and we’re hearing they’re looking at all options—from sanctions on individuals to the revocation of visas. You can&#8217;t get rid of anti-Semitism on campus without getting rid of the funding, and the funders are Qatar.”
“Trump&#8217;s Executive Order provides the basis for going after the backers of illegal pro-Hamas protests, and Trump officials are doing exactly that,” a senior GOP congressional official told the Free Beacon. “There are mountains of evidence that Qatar paid for groups committed to halting Israel&#8217;s campaign against Hamas. Everyone knows where the investigation into illegal protests will end up, and Republicans will look to punish those responsible.”

Qatar&#8217;s support of the terrorist group Hamas, as well as its past criticism of Donald Trump, has come under renewed scrutiny as the authoritarian state acts as the mediator between Israel and Hamas.
Qatar is being relied on to negotiate a cease-fire deal, in which innocent hostages, whether dead or alive, have or will be exchanged for as much as 50 times more Palestinians, many of whom murdered Israeli parents and their children. That same Qatari government has supported Hamas and vilified Israel ever since the October 7 massacre.
As the October 7 massacre of over 1200 Israelis began, Hamas leaders celebrated from their comfortable quarters in the Qatari capital of Doha. On that same day, the Qatari government issued a statement that blamed Israel for the massacre, writing, “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs holds Israel solely responsible for the ongoing escalation &#8230;”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Qatar&#8217;s record of promoting anti-Trump propaganda has also come under the spotlight. “The state-controlled media in Qatar, a regime that has long been the patron of radical groups, smeared President Donald Trump as a &#8216;Nazi&#8217; and as a &#8216;vulgar&#8217; and &#8216;insufferable&#8217; person during his first term as president,” <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/01/26/the-state-controlled-media-in-qatar-a-regime-that-has-long-been-the-patron-of-radical-groups-smeared-president-donald-trump-as-a-nazi-and-as-a-vulgar-and-insufferable-person-during-his-f/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Breitbart</a> noted.
Among the hundreds of Palestinians to be released under the deal are “three architects of the Jerusalem bus bombing on June 11, 2003, the perpetrator in a 2018 terror stabbing in the West Bank, and one of the organizers of a December 2002 attack inside the kitchen of a yeshiva, killing two students and two IDF soldiers,” the AJC <a href="https://www.ajc.org/news/who-are-the-palestinian-prisoners-freed-in-the-hostage-agreement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a>.
Qatar&#8217;s leaders have been demanding a ceasefire within hours of the attack by Hamas. Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, in a recent interview with Israeli journalist Arad Nir, reportedly said, “We&#8217;ve been calling since, since the beginning, since October 8, that we need to get this done as soon as possible.&#8221;
“Excuse me? Get what done?” responded Daniel Rubenstein, who has served as an advisor to Israeli prime ministers Benjamin Netanyahu and Naftali Bennett. “You think that the proper response to the October 7 Massacre, while Hamas terrorists were still on the loose in Israel, was to get a deal done that would ensure that Hamas leaders would survive what they had just unleashed, that hundreds or thousands of convicted Palestinian terrorists would be released from Israeli prisons, and that Hamas&#8217;s army would remain completely intact and would be in a position to carry out another massacre at a time and place of its choosing?”

The federal criminal investigation into New York City Democrat Mayor Eric Adams&#8217; ties to the Turkish government — specifically whether he conspired with them to funnel illegal foreign donations to his campaign — has reportedly widened to include five more countries.
The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/23/nyregion/fbi-adams-qatar-israel-china-uzbekistan-korea.html?smid=tw-nytimes&amp;smtyp=cur">reported</a> that prosecutors subpoenaed City Hall, Adams, and his campaign two months ago for information related to China, Qatar, Uzbekistan, South Korea, and Israel.
It was not clear how expansive the scope of the investigation was, the report said, adding that it was not yet known what information they were looking for.
Adams is under criminal investigation over potential corruption stemming from actions involving the Turkish government. Prosecutors are looking to see if he received illegal campaign donations in exchange for pushing through building inspections on a Turkish consulate in NYC and whether he also received free flight upgrades.
Adams has seen numerous people in his orbit come under criminal investigation over the last year.
The FBI executed search warrants earlier this month at the home of Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Philip Banks and a home shared by First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright and Schools Chancellor David Banks. Investigators seized phones belonging to then-NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban and Timothy Pearson, a senior adviser to the mayor. A consultant, Terence Banks, brother of Philip Banks and David Banks, was also searched.
The feds raided the home of Adams’ director of Asian Affairs, Winnie Greco, earlier this year as part of a criminal probe run by the Eastern District of New York, the Times said. His former buildings commissioner, Eric Ulrich, faces bribery charges, and several donors to Adams’ campaign have been charged in a straw-donor scheme.
Caban resigned from his post last week and his successor, interim Commissioner Thomas Donlon, was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-raids-home-of-nypd-interim-commissioner-a-week-after-similar-raid-caused-predecessor-to-resign">raided</a> by the FBI late last week.

Criminal Probe Into Eric Adams Over Foreign Ties To Turkey Widens To 5 More Countries

Three of the four Israeli hostages who were rescued of Saturday were found in the home of a Gaza-based journalist who had previously written for Al Jazeera.
The hostages, who were captured by Hamas terrorists during the brutal and unprovoked attacks of October 7, were <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/06/09/world-news/gaza-journalist-held-3-hostages-in-his-home-with-his-family-israeli-military-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">discovered</a> inside the home of Abdallah Aljamal. Aljamal had written for Al Jazeera as recently as 2019 — although the outlet has said that he was never an employee — and had since been writing for The Palestine Chronicle and serving as spokesman for Gaza&#8217;s Hamas-controlled labor ministry.
An initial report from Ramy Abdu — founder and chairman of the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor — claimed that Israeli soldiers had raided Aljamal&#8217;s home and killed him along with several members of his family.
Israel has confirmed that Aljamal was killed in the Saturday special forces raid that rescued hostages Almog Meir Jan, 21, Andri Kozlov, 27, and Shlomi Ziv, 41 — but made no mention of his family.
&#8220;This is further proof that the Hamas terrorist organization uses the civilian population as a human shield,&#8221; the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement after special forces rescued the hostages from Aljamal&#8217;s home in Nuseirat — which was located near a refugee camp.
The fourth hostage who was rescued during Saturday&#8217;s operations was 26-year-old Noa Argamani, who recounted several instances during her eight months in captivity when she believed she was going to die.
When she first arrived in Gaza, after being snatched off the street at the Nova music festival, she said that she expected to be lynched. Sometime later, she recounted seeing a missile land in the house where she was being held.
&#8220;I saw the missile enter the house; I was sure I was going to die,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I thought that was it, but I stayed alive.&#8221;
Finally, the raid that ultimately resulted in her rescue was so chaotic that, for a time, she believed she might not survive it.

The Biden administration has told <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/qatar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Qatar</a> to expel the Hamas&#8217; leaders from its country if the terrorist organization continues to reject a generous deal offered by Israel.
The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/05/03/us-qatar-hamas-hostages-ceasefire/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Secretary of State Antony Blinken delivered the message to Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani last month.
Qatar has advised Hamas&#8217; leaders, including its top leader, Ismail Haniyeh, that they should start thinking about living somewhere else because of mounting U.S. pressure as the group has continually stalled and rejected negotiations.
“We are determined to get a cease-fire that brings the hostages home and to get it now, and the only reason that wouldn’t be achieved is because of Hamas,” Blinken said in Israel this week. “There is a proposal on the table, and as we’ve said: no delays, no excuses. The time is now.”
Israel has signaled that its military operation against the terrorist group inside Gaza will not stop until the group is thoroughly destroyed.
While President Joe Biden has tried to appease the anti-Semites in his party by at times appearing to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-demands-israel-enact-immediate-ceasefire-against-hamas-terrorists-seems-to-blame-israel-for-hostages-not-being-freed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blame</a> Israel for the hostages being released, he has &#8220;grown more impatient with Hamas,&#8221; the report said.
There is strong bipartisan support in the U.S. Congress to force the U.S. to reevaluate its relationship with Qatar if it does not apply serious pressure on the terrorist group.

The shift by the Biden administration comes as the U.S. also is moving fighter jets, armed drones, and other military assets out of the U.A.E. and to Qatar to get around restrictions that the U.A.E. placed on the U.S. earlier this year.
The U.A.E. <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/u-s-shuffles-military-assets-in-middle-east-after-gulf-pushback-e728e357" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the U.S. that it had to notify the country of military operations that it was conducting in the region in Iraq and Yemen if operations involved U.S. forces stationed in the U.A.E.
“Restrictions have been imposed on strike missions against targets in Iraq and Yemen,” a U.A.E. official told The Wall Street Journal. “Those restrictions are coming from a place of self-protection.”

A new report alleging President Joe Biden‘s younger brother, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/james-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Biden</a>, was in business with Qatari officials gave House Republicans fresh ammunition to warn the public about the first family being ensnared in foreign entanglements.

&#8220;The Bidens don’t sell a product, service, or a set of skills,&#8221; Comer said. &#8220;It’s simple: the Biden family is selling access for millions of dollars to those around the world willing to pay for it.

The report said a representative for James Biden nor the Qatari Embassy responded to requests for comment. But Ali Al-Ansari, Qatar&#8217;s media attache in Washington, D.C., later provided The Daily Wire with a statement.
&#8220;We are unaware of this hypothetical investment deal referenced by a fact witness in a case unrelated to the State of Qatar,&#8221; the statement said. &#8220;The State of Qatar engages with the US government through official institutional channels. That said, we regularly work side by side with hundreds of US companies both in the United States and within Qatar, and expect all our business partners to comply fully with all relevant laws and regulations, including registration requirements.&#8221;

A Qatari representative to the Arab Parliament, Essa bin Ahmad Al-Nassr, reportedly recently said that there can be &#8220;no peace or negotiations&#8221; with Israel and that Hamas&#8217; October 7 terrorist attacks were only the prelude to Israel&#8217;s destruction.
The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) <a href="https://www.memri.org/tv/qatar-shura-council-member-essa-nassr-october7-introduction-annihilation-zionist-state-no-peace-prophet-slayers">translated</a> his remarks that were posted Monday on social media. According to the Qatari Shura website, he was promoted in Qatar&#8217;s military to an assistant commander of the Emiri Guard for Intelligence and Security at the rank of brigadier general.
He also holds positions on the Financial and Economic Affairs Committee and the Cultural and Media Affairs Committee, among others.
His remarks come as President Joe Biden has largely relied on the Qataris to try to negotiate with Hamas to release the Israeli and American hostages that it kidnapped on October 7. While some hostages have been released, many remain in captivity or have been <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2023/10/09/israel-hamas-hostage-death/">killed</a> while in Hamas custody.
Biden has since <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-demands-israel-enact-immediate-ceasefire-against-hamas-terrorists-seems-to-blame-israel-for-hostages-not-being-freed">appeared</a> to blame Israel for the hostages not being released and has demanded that they enact an &#8220;immediate ceasefire&#8221; in-exchange for nothing from Hamas.
&#8220;There can be no peace or negotiations with the Zionist entity, for one reason and one reason only: Their faith does not allow for negotiations,&#8221; Al-Nassr claimed, according to a translation provided by MEMRI. &#8220;Rather, it (condones) deception, the violation of agreements, and lies. Indeed, over 22 years have passed since the Arab Initiative was introduced, and they are yet to accept it. They only accept one thing — killing. They are the slayers of the prophets.&#8221;

&#8220;The Al-Aqsa Flood operation is only the prelude to the annihilation of the corruption that the Zionist entity has spread in the land for the second time,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Inshallah, this will spell the beginning of the end for their state, once they have gathered in the land of Palestine, as Allah says in the Quran: &#8216;And we said to the Children of Israel, dwell in the land, but when the second of the warnings came to pass, we gathered you together in a mingled crowd.'&#8221;
He concluded: &#8220;Indeed, they are gathering together in the Land of Resurrection, the land of Palestine, the land where the next generation will fight, whether we like it or not. As-Salaam Alaikum and Allah’s blessings.&#8221;

Qatari Official: ‘There Can Be No Peace Or Negotiations’ With Israel; October 7 ‘Only The Prelude’

Conflicts

The prime minister of Qatar, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, insisted his country, which has funded Hamas for years and hosts the heads of the group in Doha, has no power or influence over them.
Al Thani spoke at an Atlantic Council event as Qatar has been criticized for its unwillingness to pressure Hamas into releasing Israeli hostages.
“Our role needs to be understood clearly in this context, our role is mediator, we try to bring the parties to bridge gaps between them,” Al Thani said, as Jewish Insider <a href="https://jewishinsider.com/2024/01/qatar-hamas-hostages-mohammed-bin-abdulrahman-bin-jassim-al-thani/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. “We don’t see that Qatar is a superpower that can impose something on this party or the other party to bring them to that place.”
“Qatar is Hamas&#8217; most important financial backer and foreign ally. Qatari Emir Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani was the first state leader to visit the Hamas government in 2012. So far, the emirate has transferred €1.5 billion ($1.8 billion) to Hamas,” Deutsche Welle <a href="https://www.dw.com/en/who-is-hamas/a-57537872" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a> in 2021. “Doha <a href="https://www.apnews.com/article/world-news-israel-qatar-militant-groups-gaza-strip-49a1591f50b183920b5d4310c2098683" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pledged</a> $360 million of annual support to the enclave in January 2021, in part to subsidize government salaries,” FDD <a href="https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2023/12/19/10-things-to-know-about-hamas-and-qatar/#:~:text=Qatar%20harbors%20top%20Hamas%20leaders,of%20the%20group%27s%20diaspora%20office." target="_blank" rel="noopener">pointed out</a>, adding, “<a href="https://www.counterextremism.com/extremists/ismail-haniyeh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ismail Haniyeh</a>, the chief of Hamas’s political bureau, resides in Qatar, as do <a href="https://www.ynetnews.com/magazine/article/r1zstci7p#:~:text=Khalil%20al%2DHayya,resides%20in%20Qatar." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Khalil al-Hayya</a>, head of Hamas’s communications office, and <a href="https://www.france24.com/en/middle-east/20231103-most-wanted-the-hamas-leaders-on-israel-s-radar#:~:text=Khaled%20Meshaal%2C%20the%20Hamas%20leader%20in%20exile" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Khaled Mashal</a>, Hamas’s former political chief and current head of the group’s diaspora office.”
“It doesn’t mean that being there, hosting them is a leverage that we have over them,” Al Thani continued. “We don’t see that this is a point of leverage. We see this as a point, as a channel of communication that we are using, always for good causes.”
NBC News reporter Andrea Mitchell and Washington Post columnist David Ignatius who moderated the event, reportedly did not ask the prime minister directly about his country’s financial support of Hamas.
Commenting on reports that a dozen U.N. Relief and Works Agency employees participated in the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre of 1,200 Israelis, Al Thani said the organization “cannot be punished because of the acts of some employees” as long as the organization is “complying with” their internal procedures, adding, “It’s a behavior of an individual or small group of people among tens of thousands… it cannot be a way to label the entire agency as violating or adopting such [an] act.”

“Neither Al Thani nor the event’s moderators addressed <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/at-least-12-u-n-agency-employees-involved-in-oct-7-attacks-intelligence-reports-say-a7de8f36" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a report in the Wall Street Journal</a> that 1,200 UNRWA employees are members of Hamas, and around half of its employees have close ties to Hamas members,” Jewish Insider noted.
