I think this is a reasonable demand.
Epstein was likely funded by USaid funds.
By improper, does he mean held back putting Israel at risk?
Given how much the Liberal Establishment hates Bibi Netanyahu it’s a certainty USAID money went to opposition groups in Isreal trying to oust him from power.
Probably bigger and better hidden than USAID. Black budget CIA? Jerusalem Post and Times of Israel, and Channel 12, are big recipients, I’d guess. Along with Kaplan Force and INSS.
Exactly right
“Given how much the Liberal Establishment hates Bibi Netanyahu it’s a certainty USAID money went to opposition groups in Isreal trying to oust him from power.”
Be interesting to know just how involved USAID was on the Oct. 7th attack, most likely to give Bibi a black eye, but wound up being a massacre.
“...he requests access to available information regarding subsidies and grants to non-governmental organizations, media outlets, and individual journalists operating in Israel.”
What started out as an investigation by the government turned into a demand for sensitive information to go public. I guess he has no idea what this type of information can contain and the threat to people with it’s disclosure. DOGE is not there to be a whistleblower. It is there to investigate fraud, waste, and abuse to be handled legally and not in the eyes of the public. Putting it in simple terms, they are a policing force, not a tool for public scrutiny. And the public has no right to know what is going on in that direction as that’s why they hire people to determine the keepers of the flock through elections. The public shouldn’t have to look over their elected officials shoulders and get a partial idea as to what is happening. They wouldn’t understand.

Far-right MK kicked out of IDF reserves over photo of ‘office’ in Lebanon home
I still do not know what the answer is, but it sounds like you may be correct. They withheld money until IDF eliminated the MK from the IDF, would be what I think they are asking for information wise.
Bump!
Give us a break Eli. No one is forcing any entity in Israel to accept U.S. $$. If you or Israel don't like how US $$ are used relative to Israeli, then pass Israeli laws that govern what US $$ to Israel will acceptable and which they will not.
Israel has the power to govern incoming US $$. Stop wasting our time!
The Israelis have plenty of accountants. Elon has his focus on the US. We will cut off the payments…just watch who skworms. That is who was on the take.
I am sure Pres. Bidumb sent money over to wreck havoc in Israel, but imagine that the amount would pale in comparison to what Obummer would have sent.
AIPAC
“Given how much the Liberal Establishment hates Bibi Netanyahu it’s a certainty USAID money went to opposition groups in Israel trying to oust him from power.”
This is on Obama. He tried to undermine the Israeli election. Those funds had to come from somewhere. By the way, Does Obama hold a Biden Golden Ticket?
The money was used to facilitate Oct.7th.
No, AIPAC would support Bibi. This money went tp the Israli Left.
Israel is responsible for accepting or refusing U.S. $$ and the terms associated with that $$. Once received, Israel is responsible for how they use and apply the money they received from the U.S.
Eli's compliant is akin to someone I'll call Harry accepting money from a charity. The charity only knows that Harry met the terms for their monetary gift. Harry uses the money to buy a gun and goes on a killing spree. The charity had no idea that their money was used to murder but the victims families still want to hold the charity responsible. Like Eli, the victims families are misplacing their blame.
