US House Committees Investigate New Israel Fund Over Alleged Political Activity

The US House Judiciary and Financial Services Committees have launched an investigation into the New Israel Fund, suspecting the organization of violating laws by engaging in political activities and attempting to influence Israeli elections. Committee chairs Jim Jordan and Jason Smith accuse the fund of channeling millions of dollars to groups opposing Benjamin Netanyahu's bid for prime minister during the 2019 election cycle. This alleged conduct may have breached the conditions required for the fund to maintain its tax-exempt charitable status in the United States.
