The House Judiciary Committee published a report showing how the Biden–Harris administration used funds from the State Department, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and other federal agencies to support NGOs within Israel that undermined Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin (“Bibi”) Netanyahu, and to also support terrorist-adjacent NGOs. The report shows both direct and indirect funding that supported anti-Netanyahu groups and organizations that supported terrorists.
More chillingly, the Report highlights funds that went from the Biden–Harris administration to NGOs that were closely connected to terrorist organizations.
The report detailed six Israeli NGOs that the Biden–Harris administration used to undermine Bibi:
Blue White Future (BWF) is an Israeli NGO founded in 2009 to promote a “two-state solution” to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but also supported groups that supported undermining Bibi politically. For example, Kaplan Force, funded by BWF, called Bibi’s government a “dictatorship,” and claimed in incendiary language that Bibi’s government was “moving from defense to attack.”
The founders of BWF also wrote an article in July 2023 calling for the Biden–Harris administration not to meet with Bibi over Bibi’s pursuit of judicial reform in Israel. In fact, BWF had “funded and ran the headquarters for the coalition of groups opposing judicial reform,” according to public reports.
The Committee found that BWF may have been a downstream recipient of U.S. grant funding.” To substantiate this, the Committee states that “in 2023, BWF received approximately $4 million from the Middle East Peace Dialogue Network (MEPDN) and $18 million from PEF Israel Endowment Funds (PEF). PEF received $187,000 between 2021 and 2024 from Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors (RPA), a direct recipient of millions of dollars in grants from the Biden–Harris Administration’s USAID, State Department, and Department of Defense.”
Movement for Quality Government in Israel (MQG) is an NGO that helped to orchestrate protests against Bibi’s judicial reform, and also called for “insurgency, civil war, and violence” against Bibi’s government. MQG’s lawfare against Bibi culminated in December 2022, when it successfully petitioned the Israeli Supreme Court to bar Aryeh Deri from serving as a cabinet minister, despite Deri’s party, Shas, having received 400,000 votes in the most recent Israeli election at that time. In 2023, NQG petitioned the Israeli Supreme Court to unseat Bibi himself.
According to the House Report, the Biden–Harris administration paid approximately $42,000 in federal grant funds to MQG between 2020 and 2022. Namely, these funds set up a “Civic Activism Training Program” for students at three Jerusalem high schools to “put some order in the flow of information received by Israeli youth,” according to MQG’s attorney. The training program included emphasis on “MQG and its activities, encouraging students to engage in protesting, and MQG’s policies of protecting whistleblowers and ‘cherish[ing] them as key activists in the revelers of corruption.’”
PEF Israel Endowment Funds (PEF), a U.S. 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, gave over $884 million to over 1,000 Israeli organizations, including groups involved in the judicial reform protests, between 2021 and 2024. Additionally, BWF received around $18 million from PEF donations. From 2021 to 2024, PEF received $41.2 million from the Jewish Communal Fund (JCF) and $187,000 from Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors (RPA). The Report claims that PEF used these two fund streams to fund BWF, MQG, Physicians for Human Rights Israel, Darkenu, and others, all of whom in turn were funding anti-Bibi protests.
PEF also donated $743,000 back to JCF from 2021 to 2024, and these funds may have also been used in anti-Bibi protests.
The report states that PEF’s direct involvement in the protests against Bibi may have violated its status as a § 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.
Jewish Communal Fund (JCF) is a U.S.-based nonprofit that “provides over $520 million in annual giving” to Jewish organizations, and donates to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the Barack Obama Foundation, the Voter Participation Center, and organizations that protested Bibi and judicial reform.
The money trail to JCF likely leads to the Biden–Harris administration, according to the report. JCF received contributions totaling $743,000 from PEF, including funds designated for MQG, from 2021 to 2024. PEF in turn is partly funded by RPA, which is a direct recipient of U.S. government grants.
Additionally, the committee’s investigation suggests that JCF provided over $42.8 million to groups that provided funding to BWF, another orchestrator of protests against Bibi. JCF also donated over $41.2 million to PEF from 2021 to 2024, which included $4.2 million for BWF. Also, during 2021-2024, JCF gave $1.67 million to the Middle East Peace Dialogue Network (MEPDN), which in turn donated $4 million to BWF to fund the anti-judicial reform protests in 2023.
Middle East Peace Dialogue Network (MEPDN) is a U.S.-based nonprofit that provides financial support to Israeli and Palestinian NGOs to promote a two-state solution. MEPDN is the second largest donor to BWF, following PEF. MEPDN received $870,500 from JCF between 2021 and 2025, and MEPDN donated about $4.28 million to BWF, which included money from JCF during this same time. In addition to BWF, MEPDN donated to other groups, including $324,000 to “Ken LaShalom,” a project of MEPDN’s Israeli affiliate, “Have You Seen the Horizon Lately” (HYSHL), which directly participated in protests against Bibi, calling plans for judicial reform “a regime coup.” In a separate program, HYSHL partnered with another Israeli NGO, Abraham Initiatives, to urge Israeli Arabs to protest Netanyahu.
The Report claims that MEPDN’s direct involvement in and funding of the protests against Netanyahu may violate its tax-exempt status.
Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors (RPA) is a U.S.-based nonprofit that received $20 million in grants from USAID between 2021 and 2024 and $31.3 million from the State Department. During that same time, RPA gave $557,000 to its affiliate and partner, Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF). In 2023, RBF in turn donated more than $370,000 to groups protesting Bibi, including the Foundation for Middle East Peace (FMEP), New Israel Fund (NIF), and Brothers and Sisters in Arms. During the Biden–Harris administration, RPA also gave $187,000 to PEF, one of the largest donors to BWF.
Money to Terrorist-Adjacent NGOs
More chillingly, the Report highlights funds that went from the Biden–Harris administration to NGOs that were closely connected to terrorist organizations. Examples the report provided included:
The Bayader Association for Environment and Development, a Gaza-based NGO. The report highlights that Bayader had received at least $900,000 in U.S. government funding while “openly collaborat[ing] with Hamas officials, including holding joint events with Hamas leaders.”
The American Near East Refugee Agency (ANERA), an American NGO operating in the Palestinian territories, received USAID funding. However, ANERA then spent money “used to support Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) kindergartens that actively indoctrinate children in hatred and killing of Israeli civilians, as well as other PIJ and Hamas organizations, thus enabling them to finance terrorist activity, which is forbidden by U.S. law.”
The Unlimited Friend Association (UFA), which is a Gaza-based NGO funded by USAID, in turn, donated to the families of “martyrs” killed while conducting terrorist attacks in Israel. UFA has also been on the record promoting violent anti-Semitic rhetoric on numerous occasions.
The above revelations showing how the Biden–Harris government funding, both directly and indirectly, paid for anti-Bibi protests as well as terror-adjacent organizations, vindicate the Trump administration’s recent staff purges in both USAID and State.
