A claim made by Florida Representative Matt Gaetz has sparked renewed scrutiny over alleged financial ties between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas. According to Gaetz, Netanyahu provided $30 million monthly funding to Hamas as startup capital. This assertion follows revelations about a 2018 secret letter from Netanyahu to Qatari leadership, in which he requested Qatar to transfer $30 million a month to Gaza. The letter, disclosed in May 2025, stated the funds were intended to reduce terror group motivations, prevent a humanitarian crisis, and preserve regional stability.

The policy was approved by Israel’s Security Cabinet. However, Netanyahu later shifted stance, criticizing Qatar for not extraditing Hamas members. This contradiction drew criticism, with critics noting Israel’s use of U.S.-funded military equipment against Hamas, including F-35 aircraft and Patriot missile systems. Meanwhile, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson faced questions about screening congressional candidates for alignment with Israeli government policies. When asked about the allegations, Johnson denied the claims, stating, “No. Shocking that I would be misquoted.”

The discussion also highlighted concerns over foreign influence in U.S. politics. Florida Democratic Congressman Jared Moskowitz raised alarms about foreign governments using online platforms to spread propaganda, citing Israel’s $45 million deal with Google as an example. The article further explored biblical interpretations of geopolitical tensions, referencing Dr. Michael Heiser’s teachings on “Cosmic Geography” and the role of spiritual beings in shaping global events.
