Sen. Marsha Blackburn is concerned Biden's supplemental request, including aid for Gaza, might fund terrorism; citing reports of Hamas intercepting aid meant for civilians.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., is concerned President Joe Biden's supplemental request to Congress, which includes humanitarian aid for Gaza, will further fund terrorism in the region. 'Even last week, we got a report that Hamas was intersecting aid that was going and whether it is money, food, fuel even first aid kits and medical supplies — they're taking it all and it is not even Gazans,' Blackburn told Fox News Digital in an interview Friday.
In Biden's $105 billion emergency supplemental request, he outlined $9 billion for Ukraine, Gaza and Israel. 'The majority of the American people support Israel, and they want to make certain that aid is going to make it to people who need that aid,' Blackburn said. 'You now have this progressive group that conducts themselves as if they are Hamas sympathizers, and that is incredibly disappointing to see.
Blackburn — who has been a leading lawmaker in calling on the administration to freeze the $6 billion in Iranian assets — was part of a group of GOP lawmakers who penned a letter to Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sen. Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. on Friday calling for the supplemental request to be split up in separate packages.
