Feds probe $100M anti-Israel ‘war chest’ tied to glamorous Mamdani ally: sources

The feds are probing a shadowy nonprofit’s $100 million anti-Israel “war chest” allegedly amassed by a glamorous ally of Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a racecar-driving billionaire and a Texas private equity mogul, The Post has learned.

The Department of Homeland Security is investigating a UK-based outfit known only as PFF, scrutinizing whether it illegally funneled donor funds to Al-Haq, a Palestinian group sanctioned by the US in September, sources said.

Two sources with direct knowledge said federal agents are investigating more broadly whether the fund’s organizers employ opaque UK corporate entities to obscure cross-border financial flows.

One insider said the “linchpin” for the group’s fundraising is Bassema Yousef, a New York-born Democratic donor who now lives in the swanky London neighborhood of Kensington.

The Mamdani ally is a former Al Jazeera staffer and Booz Allen Hamilton consultant who has regularly forked out to the campaigns of Israel-bashing Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich).

She also previously served at the International Rescue Committee, a global organization led by former British Foreign Secretary David Miliband that provides life-saving support to people caught in conflicts and disasters around the world

Insiders described Yousef as “a well-connected operative who bridges the gap between State Department veterans, management consultants, and elite progressive spheres.”

They added she is a close friend of Mamdani spin doctor Waleed Shahid and Zara Rahim, a senior advisor to the left-winger’s winning campaign in November.

Yousef’s Threads account features a string of unhinged anti-Israel tirades in which she unloads on CBS correspondent Matt Gutman, who is Jewish, because his network “is owned and run by Zionist (sic)”.

HOORAY Feds! ISLAMamdani has millions of friends and as much money as is needed. Terrorist NGOs in the conquered UK fund the jihad along with many others worldwide.

Yeah, I see it as a pretty binary operation. You’re even on the side of the Jews, or you’re on the side of radical Muslim terrorists. And a lot of Freepers really hate the Jews. I find that weird.

Always with the "probing".

Always with the "exposing".

Always with the RUMORS of an "investigation".

Never with the ARRESTING!

The left is already shooting...it is the same in the end.

ZERO ARRESTS, ZERO MIDTERM VOTES!!

Cuffs, perpwalks, released mugshots.

80 days.

I don’t think you would enjoy the system of ARREST, then INVESTIGATE.

So far we are still a republic..........................
