Biden administration misused funds to pay for anti-Israel protests and terrorist-linked NGOs: memo

The House Judiciary Committee released a memo on Friday that details what it says is a pattern of neglect and abuse of taxpayer funds during the Biden administration. These funds, according to the memo, went directly and indirectly to anti-Israel protests and terrorist-linked NGOs. 

The funds were disbursed through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the State Department and other federal agencies. 

The committee's key findings detailed in the memo are: 

• U.S. nonprofit Rockefeller Brothers Fund provided nearly $4 million to radical, anti-Israel groups, including some with alleged ties to terrorist organizations; 
• USAID grantee and tax-exempt organization, the Tides Network, provided over $1 million to anti-Israel groups, including some with ties to terrorist organizations; 
• U.S. nonprofits, the Jewish Communal Fund, and its grantees, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors and PEF Israel Endowment Funds, may be violating section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status by funding radical anti-Israel groups; 
• Israeli nonprofit, Movement for Quality Government, has failed to cooperate with the Committee's inquiry concerning its funding of anti-Israeli-government NGOs; 
• According to a 2023 audit, Israeli nonprofit and U.S. government grantee Abraham Initiatives failed to comply with anti-terrorism procedures.

The memo follows another that was released in July 2025 that found the Biden administration provided grant funds to groups that contributed directly and indirectly to the judicial reform protests that sought to undermine the Israeli government.
