Florida Republican Congressman Greg Steube joins Fox Across America With Jimmy Failla to explain why he believes the $100 million in humanitarian aid President Biden pledged to send to Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank will ultimately be used by Hamas to fund terrorism.
“Just not too long ago there was $360 million that the Biden administration gave to the Palestinian Authority, despite Biden’s own State Department saying there’s a high risk that millions of U.S. funding in Palestine would benefit Hamas. This was back in August. And like there’s no coincidence between, we’re going to release $6 billion to the Iranians and then suddenly they’re backing Hamas and Hamas is attacking Israel. And we’re going to lift sanctions and suddenly Hamas is attacking Israel. Iranian backed militia groups are striking our troops in Iraq and in Syria. If he does, and he says he’s going to do it, he’s going to give them 100 million more dollars. The thought that that $100 million would go to humanitarian aid, even his own State Department here knows that it’s going to go and fund Hamas. So we’re literally going to be funding both sides of this war in Israel. It’s insane that we are in a place where our president is actively giving millions of your tax dollars to countries who support terrorist organizations, who hate our country.”
Rep. Steube also sheds light on his constituents’ frustration with House Republicans over their inability to elect a new speaker. Listen to the podcast to hear what else he had to say!
