The Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah fired rockets into northern Israel on Wednesday just days after the Iranian-backed terrorists of Hamas murdered and raped civilians in southern Israel.
This Sunday, hours after Hamas’s first attack on Israel, Biden’s National Security Council promised that the $6 billion ransom Biden agreed to pay in exchange for five hostages had not yet been released to Iran. The money sat in a Qatari bank where it had been transferred from South Korea where it had been held at Washington's request as part of sanctions on Iranian oil sales.
But if the Biden administration can monitor the $6 billion and make sure it is spent only on food and medicine, surely it must also have the ability to refreeze the money if the terms are violated. Otherwise, the terms were useless from the start. In reply, Sullivan lamely repeated, “Not a dollar of that money has been spent.” That is a nonanswer. If the money hasn’t been spent, then it is right to ask if Biden stopping it going to the terrorist masterminds.
