রিপাবলিকান আইন প্রণেতারা হামাস এবং সন্ত্রাসবাদ-সম্পর্কিত উদ্বেগের সাথে অভিযোগের সম্পর্কের বিষয়ে সিএআইআরকে তদন্ত করার দাবি করছেন
You can now listen to Fox News articles! Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-Arkansas, and Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Arkansas, are pressuring Treasury Secretary Scott Bass to investigate the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), claiming it may be operated by or funneling money to Hamas or other terrorist groups. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) describes itself as a Muslim civil rights organization established in 1994, with chapters throughout the United States. The request comes as President Donald Trump leads ceasefire efforts in Gaza between Hamas and Israel. Stefanik and Cotton argue that CAIR’s historical ties, public rhetoric, and activism raise questions about whether its support for Hamas amounts to material support for terrorism. Stefanik has also asked Bond, D-NY, to investigate treatment charities for alleged Hamas propaganda.

CAIR has long denied allegations of supporting Hamas, stating that it “does not support any foreign organization or government” and calling the allegations “false and Islamophobic,” according to a statement on its website. The group says its mission is to protect the civil rights of Muslims in the United States. Stefanik chairs the House Republican Conference, and Cotton serves on the Senate Armed Services Committee. Both have pressed for stricter enforcement of counter-terrorism financing laws in previous oversight efforts. Following a Department of Homeland Security oversight report, Senator Tom Cotton, R-Arkansas, at the Hart Senate Office Building, March 25, July (Bill Clark/CQ-Roll Call, Inc), Stefanik reached out about Senate Intelligence Committee hearings for CNY pulling funding from groups with ‘alleged terrorist ties’. She called the decision unacceptable to New York taxpayers. She and Cotton said a Treasury Department investigation would ensure that no U.S. assets are being used to advance Hamas’s goals.
