The disastrous Hamas deal negotiated by Biden and Steven Witkoff is continuing to exact an ugly price.
And the United States is paying for it. Literally.
The USAID money train to Gaza is still running. So far we’re sending $134 million, but we may well be on the hook for billions.
“The Trump administration recently released $5.3 billion in previously frozen foreign aid, mostly for security and counter-narcotics programs, including $78 million for non-food humanitarian assistance in Gaza, and $56 million for the Red Cross related to the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, according to a list of exemptions reviewed by Reuters that included only limited humanitarian relief.”
Most of the $5 billion appears to involve military aid to allies, but the $134 million to Gaza is a red flag.
Especially because freezing that money was a big initial win for DOGE’s campaign to reform USAID.
Around 8 p.m. on Sunday, a USAID staffer pushed forward $78 million for food and shelter to Palestinians living in Gaza. Two hours later, that staffer and contractors working in over 100 countries were locked out of their email accounts.
As the agency began to crumble under an attack from its own government, staffers worked frantically to send money keeping hospitals and soup kitchens from Gaza to Sudan running, saying that people may die as a result of the chaos. As of Monday afternoon, they were trying to send $305 million to the World Food Program. “We’re blowing through all the normal processes to get this out as quickly as possible,” says one staffer.
USAID was brought under control and yet that $78 million is now going out the door. Why?
The only reason that USAID was able to issue an exemption for the $78 million earmarked for Gaza is because the American government is obligated under the terms of the cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas negotiated in part by Trump envoy Steve Witkoff.
This is another part of the Biden-Witkoff disaster that needs to end now.
We have $134 million going out the window as part of the Biden-Witkoff deal, but the real question is how much more are we obligated for?
Are we funding the ghoulish Red Cross hostage transfer ceremonies?
I repeatedly warned that the Biden-Witkoff deal puts us on the hook. People dismissed it. Now it can’t be dismissed anymore.
We are on the hook and US taxpayer money is continuing to go to Gaza.
That’s why we need to get out of the deal. Now.
“The Times of Israel.” We can always count on its reportage. Count on it to be woke propaganda which is pro Hamas and Psuedostinian, pro Red Crescent, anti MAGA and packed with the usual lefty and islamic lies. It’s very trustworthy in that respect. And the equally yellow news Reuters is involved in this dirty deal
The Bidumb-Whackoff deal is actually a sweetheart deal for Hamas gifted by Steve Whackoff and directed by Jihad Joe’s handlers. And USAIDS spews the usual lies about millions and billions being spent on hospitals and fictional soup kitchens for overfed parasites who enjoy free medical aid.
Whackoff is one of those treacherous left-wing scumbags who works against President Trump’s agendas just like the scum in his first administration who he also praised before he had to fire them or disparaged their sabotage after the fact, I heard the President praise Whackoff several times last week and I yelled at my TV each time.
We’ll see how much lucre Hamas actually gets. The Deep State blob is still sabotaging America every way it can, no matter how many of its D-Bag operatives get fired. Those insidious scumbags are like wimpy and cowardly versions of Captain Ahab.
Whackoff needs to be publicly fired and humiliated as soon as possible. I hate it when Trump fails to see the snakes in his service.
TOI is left wing trash, but they’re reprinting a Reuters report. I’m still investigating but it doesn’t look like it was made up.
Government spending is public knowledge and it looks like this was baked into the ceasefire deal.
Yes, I figured as much. How bureaucrats can be so dedicated to handing over American wealth to the pampered scum of the Earth never ceases to disgust me. And they’ll keep doing it with very little public knowledge until President Trump walks up and slaps the money out of their paws.
You’ve exposed this and so have Real America’s Voice and Newsmax but most Americans have no idea about crimes against America and humanity like this. I sure hope DOGE continues to audit agencies like USAIDS and the State Department, etc, as extensively as possible so President Trump can fire as many “people” as possible and shut down as many evil agencies and groups as possible. It’s one of the reasons we elected him and the overwhelming majority of ordinary Americans will be furious when they find out about this and all the scandals sure to be exposed in the future.
Whackoff and bureaucrats like him are much worse than Benedict Arnold was. Arnold was a man and didn’t try to hide his betrayal.
The meek shall inherit the earth.
More like the greedy and rapacious. And “meek” has three definitions in Hebrew. The Bible refers to the “humble” definition, not “lowly” or “afflicted.” “Humble” implies piety in Hebrew, from what I understand.
And atheism is nihilism.
Jeff, If there was a prize for perfectly insulting names, you’d win it. Now I shall never think of Witcoff without your nickname for him. .
Glad I could help. 🙂
It is unbelievable how bad this deal is. At some point, we need to know which side President Trump is really on.
In his CPAC speech, he repeatedly emphasized that the return of “dead bodies of hostages” is just as important as return of living hostages. OK, I won’t argue that point. But I couldn’t help but wonder if he was pushing for Witcoff’s phase 2. We have seen video of an upset Israeli mother of a hostage specifically begging for phase2. We know the politics in Israel is divisive with some hostage families allied with organizations on the left.
But, I am losing trust in Trump’s support for his own stated US led relocation plan for Gaza and in his honesty.
The only follow-up phase that matters is the annihilation of Hamas. If Bibi really believed Trump had his back. Israel would be doing this now. Removing Witkoff from the team would send the message.
I agree. I agree. Trump is good for the US, not a bad person, not a jew-hater. He isn’t the Israel hater that Obama-Biden was. But, he has business with Qatar- financial and/or political -that is his priority way above and beyond his concern about Israel.. Israel may struggle to exist with whatever deal Trump has with Qatar and other Arab nations. Thats why Witcoff seems so much like Blinken. Trump therefore is more aligned to Israel’s left than to Netanyahu or to Gvir or to Smotrich.
Despite some supportive comments by Trump and plans that sounded good but he says he will not “impose,” his actions show a deal maker rather than someone who supports Israel as a Jewish nation rather than a dhimmi nation. Netanyahu must see this too and tries to do the best he can with this level of US support which is disappointing but improved over the last administration.
Being honest with myself about Trump allows me to feel less annoyed with Netanyahu’s apparent weaknesses and hesitancy.
I trust that President Trump will tell Whackoff to “resign in victory” before too long. He’s not stupid and he has to see where the so called Bidumb – Whackoff steal leads. He isn’t going to shower the subhuman Psuedostinians in US $bucks the way his predecessors did.
Maybe. But so far he hasn’t. fired W (I can’t use your monicker as I am a lady lol). He is Trump’s “foil.”
If Mr. Greenfield knows,Trump knows, but says nothing.
The ‘Biden-Witkoff’ deal is a macabre mockery game that Trump decided to play, with all Israeli lives and with American money invested in terror.
This mockery supports freeing, positioning and activating enemy terror battalions of murderers throughout Israel and, as Mr. Greenfield’s article reveals, continues to finance and revitalize terror in Gaza with US citizens’ money.
Why isn’t Trump squeezing Qatar, aka the Al Thani family’s personal country, into immediately taking in all of the Gazans?
Why IS that US Air Force base in Qatar?
Most Trump voters don’t care about what’s going on in Gaza. It was never an election issue. They may say they support Israel in a poll. Politicians may vigorously voice support for Israel.
But when push comes to shove, they can live without doing anything really.
Remote. Not part of their daily life and thoughts, EVEN THOUGH terror wages war with America IN AMERICA.
Trump experienced the life and death threat of terror; but has he read that terror right?
Unfortunately, really, really unfortunately, Trump is stalling. It’s really terrible how he’s stalling. It’s a terrible thing. Really. Isn’t it?
He says one thing and is doing another. Who does that? Really, really terrible……….
Yes, he talks big. He talks big into a vacuum that sucks up his words into oblivion.
But, really obviously, he’s not talking big to Qatar. Not big at all. Maybe even not at all.
Why isn’t he squeezing Qatar to immediately take in all Gazans?
Qatar, CEO and CFO of Hamas.
Qatar, turning every drop of oil and every cubic meter of natural gas into terrorists.
Gotta love those fossil fuels…..They have made Qatar great. A really great thing. Qatar. What a great country. Great people.
Well…….
I think it’s time for Front Page Magazine to put its warriors with words of truth and morality on the field, at White House press corps meetings and briefings, for instance, or, wherever, to ask really great questions directly and to ‘the point’. Truth should be heard, not just read. Truth is not optional. FPM should no longer be just an influential reference. It should be a very real pervasive presence that cannot be ignored.
And may God protect you.
It’s only been a month. Not even President Trump can solve all of America’s problems that fast, much less all the world’s.
There’s no way Trump is going to continue the practice of signing blank checks for Psuedostinian jihad, the way all his predecessors did.
I could not agree more. See my comment above. I am horrified by Trumps using Witcoffto to move a plan forward that is devastating to Israel. The rumored harsh pushing by Witcoff of Netanyahu on Shabbat is an indicator of Trump’s casual disrespect for Israel. Even as Trump put forward his conveniently “not imposed” US led plan for Gaza, he stated that Qatar is “helping.” What?! Qatar is Hamas! Trump is concerned with Qatar and not with Israel’s continued existence.
With America in shambles from Democrats, it is easy to understand why what happens in Gaza or to 8 million Jews over there somewhere far away is not a big concern to most Americans.
From his inauguration, where Trump displayed hostages families (many hostage families aligned with the leftists in israel and what do those leftists ultimately want? Israel no longer a Jewish state? ) Trump’s next lefty display was at CPAC backing empowering Hamas through extended negotiations for dead bodies. I cannot argue that point from a religious or emotional perspective . But from a war perspective it is suicide. And support for Qatar.
Trump was never a Russian agent. But he seems to favor Qatar. Far above “ally” Israel.
The altruist never changes his spots.
As I posted yesterday, the Palestinians would not exist except that America and the West are keeping them in existence through altruistic tax dollars sustaining their existence. On their own these cannibals would perish.
It isn’t altruism, it’s Jew hatred.
I don’t understand why Netanyahu accepted the deal instead of waiting until Trump took office.
Anyway, how to defend against all those thousands of terrorists that were released. I got a new book hoping to learn more about defensive technique, and surprisingly, the key (so far) seems to be to have very active and competent officers in charge of the defensive scheme.
That may be why 10-7 was so effective for the terrorists, the officers in charge of the defensive schemes seemed to be very passive.
Netanyahu was pressured into accepting the deal by Witkoff after Trump took office.
He rejected it under Biden.
President Trump needs to hurry up and reject Whackoff. I figure it’s only a matter of time but a lot of damage can be done in a short time, especially when sleazy deep state scum collude with genocidal Hamas scum. I predict a Whackoff “resignation” before too long and I hope I’m right. No way is Trump going to keep wasting American billions upon billions on intransigent jihadi terrorists after his formation of DOGE.
I have to wonder what President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu talked about behind closed doors all those days.
Witcoff was already Trump’s emissary even before he took office. The Biden White House made clear that the Biden and Trump teams were working together to get agreement on a ceasefire. So 2x the pressure on Israel to accept the old abiden framework. Beyond being a golf buddy and fellow real estate dealmaker, I don’t know why Trump endorses Witcoff’s positions. I can’t imagine Kushner would have backed a deal so partial to Hamas.
Not a single penny of U.S. taxpayers’ money should be funding the Arab invaders from Arabia (Fakestinians), or, any other goose-stepping and genocidal band of Islamofascists/Muslim terrorists.
Why is this concept so difficult for certain people to understand and to adhere to?
Certain people want taxpayer’s money to go to “reparations” to blacks, tranny training for toddlers and every other we can or can’t imagine. You know how certain people are. Deranged.
Hamass terrorists have broken the ceasefire deal by terrorist attacks in Israel.
Time to sue for a refund plus interest.
And the subhumanly stupid liars blamed it on the IDF and dem Joos.
The United States provided food to keep Germans from starving after both World War I and II. AFTER. There is no after Hamas and its Axis now.
Just BOMB this sub-human TRASH!!!!!!!!! No One in the World wants or needs them!!!!!!!!
Fire Witkoff already, jeesh
