Why are we under any obligation to war criminals?
Apart from that we had a federal ruling that has upheld cuts to USAID.
One commenter pointed out: “Now that a Federal Judge has upheld DOGE cuts to USAID, Sec Rubio must move to claw back the money. Just like DHS did with the payment to NYC for the hotels.

Or divert that 134 million to Israel instead of Gaza, tell them that this is how it will be done going forward and that no pressure will be made to bear on Israel to ensure that that money gets to the Gazans aka Hamas. Once this is done, they’ll immediately stop demanding money from US, if they see that the more they ask, the richer Israel gets!
Aside from that, Hamas has already violated the terms of the deal badly enough that Israel should be under no compulsion to pretend that this ceasefire still holds.”
Trump Administration Sends $134,000,000 to Gaza due to Biden-Witkoff Hamas Deal
By Daniel Greenfield, February 23, 2025:
The disastrous Hamas deal negotiated by Biden and Steven Witkoff is continuing to exact an ugly price.
ADVERTISEMENTAnd the United States is paying for it. Literally.
The USAID money train to Gaza is still running. So far we’re sending $134 million, but we may well be on the hook for billions.
“The Trump administration recently released $5.3 billion in previously frozen foreign aid, mostly for security and counter-narcotics programs, including $78 million for non-food humanitarian assistance in Gaza, and $56 million for the Red Cross related to the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, according to a list of exemptions reviewed by Reuters that included only limited humanitarian relief.”
Most of the $5 billion appears to involve military aid to allies, but the $134 million to Gaza is a red flag.
Especially because freezing that money was a big initial win for DOGE’s campaign to reform USAID.
Around 8 p.m. on Sunday, a USAID staffer pushed forward $78 million for food and shelter to Palestinians living in Gaza. Two hours later, that staffer and contractors working in over 100 countries were locked out of their email accounts.
As the agency began to crumble under an attack from its own government, staffers worked frantically to send money keeping hospitals and soup kitchens from Gaza to Sudan running, saying that people may die as a result of the chaos. As of Monday afternoon, they were trying to send $305 million to the World Food Program. “We’re blowing through all the normal processes to get this out as quickly as possible,” says one staffer.
ADVERTISEMENTUSAID was brought under control and yet that $78 million is now going out the door. Why?
The only reason that USAID was able to issue an exemption for the $78 million earmarked for Gaza is because the American government is obligated under the terms of the cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas negotiated in part by Trump envoy Steve Witkoff.
This is another part of the Biden-Witkoff disaster that needs to end now.
We have $134 million going out the window as part of the Biden-Witkoff deal, but the real question is how much more are we obligated for?
Are we funding the ghoulish Red Cross hostage transfer ceremonies?
I repeatedly warned that the Biden-Witkoff deal puts us on the hook. People dismissed it. Now it can’t be dismissed anymore.
We are on the hook and US taxpayer money is continuing to go to Gaza.
That’s why we need to get out of the deal. Now.
