Israel: Muslim woman posing as Gaza aid worker arrested for passing money and intel to Hamas

Mar 22, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Aid funneled to jihad terror isn’t anything new, yet it has become commonplace, often in less blatant and obvious ways than we see in the case of Aya Khatib, who was pretending to be an aid worker. In fact, actual aid workers are routinely found to be funding and partnering with jihad terror groups. An Episcopal Church agency partnered with jihad-linked Islamic Relief USA to combat gender-based violence, and it was discovered that the evangelical Christian charity World Vision “knowingly funded a group sanctioned for funding terrorism.”

Recently, Iran was discovered to be diverting funds from domestic priorities during their out-of-control coronavirus outbreak to pay for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ terrorist activities in the region. Also, let’s not forget the many links between the UNRWA and Hamas.

“Shin Bet: Arab-Israeli Woman Posing as Aid Worker Funneled Money to Hamas Terror Group,” by Deborah Danan, Breitbart, March 17, 2020:

TEL AVIV – An Arab-Israeli woman posing as a humanitarian worker was arrested for siphoning off aid money to the Hamas terror group, the Shin Bet security agency said Sunday.

Aya Khatib, 31, funneled money and provided intelligence for the Gaza-based terror group’s military arm, the security agency said.

She was apprehended last month for rerouting hundreds of thousands of shekels earmarked for needy families in Gaza, “defrauding both aid NGOs and innocent civilians who donated monies with the goal of reaching sick people and the needy,” the agency said in a statement.

Some of the money went towards terror activity, including the construction of subterranean tunnels stretching into Israeli territory.

In addition to raising funds, Khatib is also suspected of gathering security intelligence to promote terrorist activity against Israeli targets.

“The investigation findings found that Khatib also provided intelligence to Hamas, including details on the movements of IDF forces during one of the rounds of conflict with the Gaza Strip,” the Shin Bet said.

A prosecutor’s statement was filed in Acre Magistrate’s Court on Sunday and an indictment is expected to be filed at Haifa District Court in the coming days. Khatib is being charged with aiding an enemy during wartime, having contact with a foreign agent, and financial transgressions relating to terror activities.

Khatib’s husband, Ali Aqel, who was arrested with her, was released the same day after a brief investigation.Dozens of Arab Israelis have protested her arrest outside the Haifa Magistrate’s Court a number of times in recent weeks.

MK Yousef Jabareen, of the Arab-majority Join List party, attended one such demonstration.MK Iman Khatib-Yassin, also from the Joint List, also defended Khatib, saying she is “a wife and mother of small children…all she did was be with needy and poor people, in order to give them a little respect. So if they call that terrorism, then good health to them.”

Khatib was recruited to Hamas by Mohammad Peppel and Muhammad Halawah, two operatives from its armed wing, the Izz a-Din al-Qassam brigades……

    This is War & we in the West treat it all like a game of unruly Cricket! Granted no Muslim State would EVER formally declare War on a Western country/Israel, they’d be wiped off the map in a few days. But ISLAM had & ALWAYS has declared war on non-Muslim persons & States. This woman should be treated as a spy & possibly face a Firing Squad.

    Yet another ‘productive member of society’ (Robert Spencer)
    Fortunately, the Israeli authorities will mark the female beast for life as a security threat.
    One down, one billion to go.
