Just weeks after Gaza-based Hamas terrorists killed over 1,000 Israeli civilians in an Oct. 7, 2023 mass terrorist attack, the Biden administration shipped $27 million in U.S. taxpayer funds to unnamed organizations in Gaza.
Now a legal watchdog is suing to find out just who got the cash.
The non-profit public interest law firm Judicial Watch announced in a statement they have “filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) for records about to the $27 million in U.S. grants awarded to “Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees” that have been designated for use in Gaza.”
“The involvement of employees of a U.S. backed multinational organization in the October 7 attack on Israel underscores the importance of transparency in who receives U.S. taxpayer dollars and how they are spent,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “This is critical to protecting the national security of the U.S. and Israel.”
“On November 15, 2023, the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance, a component of the USAID, issued a $7 million grant for “multisectoral response in Gaza.” The grant was awarded to ‘Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees.’ The same day a ‘continuation’ grant of $20 million was also issued for ‘multisectoral response.’” Judicial Watch reports.
Judicial Watch filed suit after a previous request for information on the payments did not reveal just who got the money.
According to Judicial Watch, an April 2, 2024 FOIA request asked the USAID for:
All records identifying the recipients of USAID funding under the $7,000,000 grant allocation awarded on or about November 15, 2023, and associated with Federal Award Identification Number 720BHA24GR00005.
All proposals, applications, scope of work documents, or similar records related to any grant award or sub-award associated with Federal Award Identification Number 720BHA24GR00005.
“USAID reports that over $282 million was obligated to the West Bank and Gaza in fiscal year 2023,” Judicial Watch notes.

Virginia Judge Rules State Cannot Resume Private Sale Background Checks
A Virginia judge has delivered a significant victory for gun owners, ruling that the state’s universal background check law remains blocked despite efforts by Attorney General Jay Jones and Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s administration to restart enforcement.
Lynchburg Circuit Court Judge Patrick Yeatts on Wednesday refused to dissolve a statewide injunction that has prevented Virginia from conducting background checks on private firearm sales since October 2025. The ruling came after state officials attempted to resume enforcement of the law following passage of new legislation earlier this year.
