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)”.

Qatar money?

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.
All the Jew haters have to realize that you also support commie/Jihadist scum like Mamdani....And He/they want you dead.
(D-Mich) who knew /s
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 "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.

So far we are still a republic..........................
If JUSTICE is dead, the REPUBLIC is dead!
5-1/2 years of Trump, ZERO 'elite' arrests! Zero cuffs, zero perpwalks, zero mugshots.

AS I said, maybe you want arrests first. We live in a republic and it takes recourses to convict. But you want your lollipop now. You start with the small fish. It takes a lot to convict the big ones. But the court of public opinion is valuable too.
Just throw away the rule of law. Be thankful you don’t live in the world you think you want.
Trump probably ORDERED DOJ/FBI NOT to arrests any elites just like he did with Hillary!
You call that RULE OF LAW?
Nick Shirley gets more investigating done than the 38 billion dollar a year DOJ!
Kyle Rittenhouse dished out more justice than the FBI!
The left is ALREADY SHOOTING!! They are going to riot around the wrong couple of veterans and the country might NEVER return to civility.
The TRUST level with DOJ/FBI/TRUMP is lower than with FAUCI!!
The left is already shooting. Where is your SENSE OF URGENCY? It didn't take FBI/DOJ 5-1/2 years to CUFF, PERPWALK AND MUGSHOT STONE!
I don't believe a word out of your mouth.
80 days until midterms. Zero 'elite' arrests, zero midterm votes! It is the same in the end. GET IT DONE!
