House committees investigate U.S. funding links to Israeli Judicial Reform and the general anti-Bibi protests
Washington, D.C. — The U.S. House Judiciary and Foreign Affairs Committees have launched an investigation into whether federal funds were used to support protests against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s judicial reforms in 2023.
The inquiry focuses on six nonprofit organizations that received U.S. grants during the Biden administration.
Among the organizations under scrutiny is the Movement for Quality Government in Israel (MQG), which played a central role in the mass protests against Netanyahu’s judicial overhaul. Ynet News reported that the committees are probing whether U.S. taxpayer dollars were funneled to these groups to influence internal Israeli politics and destabilize Netanyahu’s democratically elected government
