$1.7 Million Raised in Scheme for Hamas, Including From U.S. Donors, Prosecutors Say, Announcing Charges
- Louisiana brothers Abdel Adhami and Omar Adhami face federal charges for allegedly providing material support to Hamas, using social media to funnel money to the Gaza Strip.
- Federal agents unsealed criminal complaints on Tuesday revealing the brothers drew scrutiny after Abdel Adhami messaged an undercover New York Police Department detective posing as a donor.
- Court records show Abdel Adhami sent about $80,000 to associates of handler Saleem Alzaq between November 2023 and February, while Omar Adhami sent about $6,000 in the same period.
- Researcher Seamus Hughes noted a "steady increase of Hamas-related arrests" across the country, describing the trend as "clearly increasingly becoming a prosecutorial priority for this administration."
- This prosecutorial push has intensified amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, which began in October 2023 and has killed more than 74,000 people in Gaza.
