The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is investigating a nonprofit organization associated with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for allegedly providing donor funds to a Palestinian group that is under U.S. sanctions. The organization, identified as PFF and based in the U.K., reportedly has approximately $100 million in funds aimed at supporting anti-Israel initiatives. It is alleged that PFF may have contributed to Al-Haq, a sanctioned Palestinian group. A source indicated that a new fund has been established by Arabs in the U.S., U.K., and Australia to oppose Israel. Bassema Yousef, described as a key figure in PFF's fundraising efforts, is noted to be a long-time ally of Mamdani and has been vocal in her criticism of Israel on social media. The investigation reportedly includes scrutiny of the financial backing from notable donors, including Basil Qunibi and Yasser Shahin. The DHS has not commented on the specifics of the investigation, stating that it does not disclose details about ongoing investigations. The report clarifies that the investigation does not imply any criminal wrongdoing.
