NBC News detailed that Hamas receives $100 million per year in financial support from Iran. This money, in addition to weapons and training from the regime, have enabled Hamas to turn Gaza into a terror fortress.


Iran’s support for terrorism extends beyond Hamas and Hezbollah on Israel’s southern and northern borders, to include terrorist groups operating against U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria. In the past three weeks, American troops have been attacked 19 times by Iranian-backed forces.

Hamas is endangering thousands of Palestinians – including kids – by deliberately forcing them into danger.


It also further exposes how Hamas uses and abuses humanitarian infrastructure and assistance for its own benefit. America must ensure that any aid going into Gaza is not stolen or destroyed by Hamas.

Watch this speech by the mother of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, one of the 229 hostages.


This Shabbat, as we continue to mourn and remember the 1,400 Israelis murdered on October 7, we keep the 229 hostages and their families close to our hearts. For a third Shabbat, chairs – including highchairs – will remain empty as we pray for their safety and their return home.


May God protect the brave soldiers of the IDF, provide comfort to the people of Israel, and safeguard those kidnapped by Hamas.


Sincerely,

Adam Harris
