U.S. taxpayer dollars are able to 'flow freely' to Iran-backed Hamas
and Hezbollah because the United Nations Security Council has failed to
label them as 'terrorists,' warn top security experts.
Hamas and Hezbollah are not sanctioned or labeled as terror groups by
the UN Security Council. However, other well-known terrorist
organizations Al Qaeda and ISIS have been officially designated, which
cuts off their ability to get foreign assistance.
Richard Goldberg, senior advisor at the Foundation for the Defense of
Democracies, tells DailyMail.com that U.S. taxpayer dollars to the UN
are going directly into the hands of terrorists as a result.
That is especially alarming as Hamas in Gaza launched a brutal attack
on Israel over a week ago, killing over 1,300 innocent civilians and at
least 29 Americans.
But despite their horrific atrocities, including beheading babies and
raping women, the Iran-backed terror group is considered 'legitimate'
by the UN - which has cleared the way for the organization to receive
worldwide assistance, says Goldberg.

'The UN considers Hamas a legitimate political movement, not a vicious
terrorist organization. The same goes for Hezbollah. That means US
taxpayer dollars handed over to the UN can flow freely into Hamas hands
in Gaza, and they do every day through the UN's so-called Palestinian
refugee agency,' Goldberg told DailyMail.com.
The UN has a 'Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the
Near East' (UNRWA) agency that works to support the 'relief and human
development' of Palestinian refugees.
The agency received over $15 million from partnering UN countries in
2021 and it lists the United States as a 'top government donor' on its
website.
Goldberg said that the Biden administration has given roughly $1
billion to the UNRWA, which spends about 38 percent of its budget on
Gaza.
Therefore, the U.S. has subsidized Hamas to the tune of $380 million
since Biden took office and restarted funding to UNRWA, he said.
'If the UN Security Council won't add Hamas and Hezbollah to its formal
list of terrorist groups, we need to demand a halt to all UN bodies
that enrich and embolden them,' he continued.
Goldberg formerly served in the Trump administration as the National
Security Council Director for Countering Iranian Weapons of Mass
Destruction.
Former U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley - who is also running for
president in 2024 - repeatedly pressed the organization to formally
list Hamas as a terrorist group when she held her position.
Haley slammed the UN in an exclusive statement to DailyMail.com Monday,
saying the decision to formally label the terrorist group should be
easy.
'It should be easy to condemn a bloodthirsty organization that kills
babies, rapes women, and burns whole families. Yet, the UN still
refuses to call Hamas what they areterrorists.'
'We must always take a side when it comes to good vs. evil and we will
never stop calling out the shameful anti-Israel bias at the UN,' Haley
continued.
In June 2018, Haley introduced a resolution that would have designated
Hamas as a terror organization, but the U.S. was the only country that
backed the motion.
Not to be deterred, Haley successfully pressured the General Assembly
to hold a vote to label Hamas as a terrorist group.
The amendment narrowly passed, but due to a last-minute procedural
change requiring two-thirds of the majority to back the measure, it
ended up failing.
Biden's current UN Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield also has commented on
anti-Israel bias at the organization.
She condemned Hamas for the 'horrors' committed by the 'terrorist
group' whose 'stated purpose is to kill Jews' speaking at a solidarity
event for Israel at American Jewish Committee headquarters in New York
last week.
'The path of terror' by Hamas does nothing to improve the lives of any
civilians, she continued.
Thomas-Greenfield also acknowledged that for too long, Israel has been
'unfairly targeted in the UN system.'
'Now is the moment to stand in solidarity with Israel,' she continued.
Her spokesperson Nate Evans told DailyMail.com that they have
'continuously urged' the UN to condemn Hamas and Hezbollah's terrorist
activities.
He went on to slam Russia for blocking those efforts and going 'easy'
on terrorist groups.

DailyMail.com reached out to a spokesperson for Thomas-Greenfield
regarding whether she will press the UN to extend the terrorist
designation to Hezbollah and Hamas in light of the gruesome attacks in
Israel.
Hamas terrorists based in Gaza launched a surprise, multi-front attack
on Israel last Saturday, October 7, and the conflict between the
Palestinian enclaves and Israel has continued into Monday.
In addition to the at least 29 Americans who have died in the attacks,
15 are still missing and believed to be held hostage in Gaza.
The UN did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday.
