Biden Administration Hosts Leader of Group Linked to Hamas

White House National Security Council met with Rahma Worldwide CEO Shadi Zaza, unaware of the group's ties to Hamas.

The National Security Council held a meeting on Sept. 11 with Syrian-American community leaders, including Shadi Zaza, CEO of Rahma Worldwide.
Rahma Worldwide has a documented history of collaborating with Hamas officials on aid initiatives in Gaza.
The Biden administration's Department of Health and Human Services granted nearly $175,000 to Rahma for a vaccine program around the same time as their meetings with Hamas.
Republican lawmakers criticize the administration, accusing NSC staffers of either gross incompetence or support for Hamas.
Rahma Worldwide denies any affiliation with militant factions, insisting their work is strictly humanitarian.
