“Just weeks ago, the Biden administration handed over $6 billion to Iran, and today, innocent Israelis were murdered by Iran-backed Hamas terrorists,” Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., said in a statement after the attacks. “We must continue to support our strongest ally in the Middle East and their right to defend themselves against these unprovoked, horrific attacks. I stand with Israel and join many around the world in praying for the safety and security of its people.”
The Biden administration told Congress last month it released the billions of dollars that had been held up by U.S. sanctions as well as releasing five Iranian nationals detained in the U.S. in exchange for the release of five Americans detained in Iran.

Why is anyone surprised that Israel has been attacked?
“They released the funds, but all of the money is still in the bank…misleadung news for sure.”
With the news they can use all existing funds knowing it will soon be replenished.
They can borrow against the soon to be acquired funds.
With wire transfers, how do you know the money isn’t already in their banks? Do you think they are waiting on Brinks or Loomis to drive across the ocean?
btt
You’re correct. That money may not actually be in their hands, but it’s there for funding more terror.
Green light.
Joe owns this mess.
WRONG! PAID A $6B Ransome.
“They released the funds, but all of the money is still in the bank…misleadung news for sure.“
Well you know what they say, “money is fungible “.
