Senate Investigates American Muslims for Palestine Over Alleged Hamas Ties

The Senate HELP Committee, led by Senator Bill Cassidy, has launched a probe into AMP's alleged financial and organizational links to Hamas and its role in campus protests.

  • Senator Bill Cassidy announced a Senate HELP Committee investigation into the American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) for alleged ties to Hamas and involvement in anti-Israel campus protests.
  • The investigation focuses on AMP's financial and logistical support for Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), which has organized protests on several U.S. college campuses.
  • Letters were sent to universities, including Columbia, Barnard, UCLA, and George Washington University, requesting documentation on AMP and SJP activities, with an April 9 deadline for responses.
  • The Department of Justice and FBI were also asked to provide information on any investigations into AMP's alleged connections to Hamas and its campus activities.
  • AMP has faced prior legal scrutiny, including a lawsuit by Virginia's attorney general over financial transparency and alleged support for terrorist organizations.
