In allowing aid to flow to the Palestinian people, President Biden has failed to ensure that funds cannot find their way to Hamas, the terrorist organization that is waging war on Israel.
It is no secret that Iran has provided weapons and training for Palestinian paramilitaries in Gaza who were responsible for an attack on the Jewish state, now in its second week. Iran has also granted uncounted millions to Hezbollah, another terrorist proxy, which has joined the assault by firing rockets into northern Israel from its Lebanese redoubts in recent days. The two-pronged offensive has killed more than 1,400 Israelis and as many as 30 Americans.
Yet Mr. Biden fecklessly told CBS’ “60 Minutes” on Sunday there is “no clear evidence” of Iranian collaboration in the onslaught. Downplaying what Iran and Hamas boast of is the sort of head-in-the-sand conduct that has given these terrorists the opening to launch their murderous rampage. The Biden administration and Qatar, where the $6 billion is banked, have now agreed to withhold the funds temporarily. That is not good enough. Senate Republicans are wisely demanding that Mr. Biden prevent Iran from obtaining the means to kill Israelis by making the freeze permanent. The president’s visit to Israel affords him the chance to see Iran’s deadly handiwork in person.
