Rep. Rashida Tlaib on Wednesday shared a tweet that advertised a fundraiser for an organization with ties to Hamas and the Taliban.
Experts say Baitulmaal helps fundraise for Hamas and distributes aid to the "Families of martyrs of the Palestinian people." And the group's leader, Mazen Mokhtar, has been accused of working with the Taliban and other terrorist groups.
Baitulmaal works closely with Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip, according to a 2020 analysis by the Middle East Forum.
The group, which received $10,000 in emergency coronavirus funding last year, frequently partners with Unlimited Friends Association for Social Development, a Palestinian group that describes itself as a "a social, developmental, educational NGO.".
The organization hosted a 2008 fundraiser for the Yazour Medical Clinic in Nablus, an offshoot of Hamas.
One Palestinian newspaper reports that Baitulmaal and the Hamas offshoot have been working together "For years."
Anti-Semitic activist Linda Sarsour last year hosted a fundraiser for Baitulmaal that raised tens of thousands of dollars.
