| Dear Ted,
This week a court in Be’er Sheva issued a ruling that did not get much attention in the press, and certainly no positive reviews. Mohammad El Halabi, the head of Gaza operations for World Vision, was found guilty of funneling $50 million to Hamas. He was arrested in 2016, and the case has only now come to a close. World Vision is a US based human rights organization that has tens of thousands of workers around the world, and manages billions of dollars annually. The use of human rights organizations to direct money to terror organizations is not new, and is a very big issue that the State of Israel has dealt with for many years. Hundreds of millions of dollars come in to Gaza on the premise of human rights and are directly used to fund tunnels, rockets, and other terror activities.
A key component in the war on terror is ending the funding of the terrorism, which is why this court ruling is crucial and why the great efforts of the security establishment to identify and track this funding is so important. This court ruling is a step in the right direction of slowing down the flow of this money. Please take a few minutes to view the English language interview I did with i24 News to bring light to this issue, and to share the truth. |

| I returned to Israel this week after a wonderful trip to New York and Southern Florida, and am grateful to all the supporters I met. Here in Israel our movement is 4,200 strong and I look forward to bolstering these numbers even further with the Zionist communities in the U.S.
All the best, |

I think that this is somewhat old news. I have Christian friends who were completely taken in by this organization. Very sad.
