Employee allegedly 'funneled tens of millions of dollars' to terrorists
Mohammed El Halabi, an employee of
World Vision, the world’s largest evangelical Christian charity, has
been charged in Israel with funneling tens of millions of dollars to the
military wing of Hamas, a designated international terrorist
organization affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood.
The arrest was made June 16, according to the Israeli daily Haaretz,
but a gag order on the case files was lifted Wednesday and Halabi was
indicted Thursday. The indictment reveals details of how Hamas
infiltrated Federal Way, Washington-based World Vision, a global
Christian outreach active in nearly 100 countries.
Halabi, director of World Vision’s Gaza branch, was detained at the Erez crossing in Israel as he was headed back to Gaza on his way home from “routine meetings,” several Israeli news outlets were reporting.
Halabi was being held since June “without access to legal counsel or family visits,” which is normal procedure in Israel for prisoners charged with terrorist-related crimes.
