[IsraelTimes] FBI alleges Al-Khair Foundation head worked with senior Hamas leader to transfer cash and divert humanitarian supplies to terror group while concealing that it was the beneficiary
The United Kingdom’s Charity Commission announced on Friday that it was probing one of the UK’s largest Moslem charity organizations for allegedly providing financial and material support to Hamas
 ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
in the wake of the October 7, 2023, massacre.
The probe into the al-Khair Foundation came after its director, Mohammad Yusef Hasna, was arrested in the UK last week on US charges alleging he conspired to funnel money and supplies to Hamas through his senior role in what prosecutors said was a sham global humanitarian organization.
Hasna, a 45-year-old Ottoman Turkish national, was ordered held pending extradition to New York, where he will face a federal court.
Hasna worked closely with Hamas’s big shotship to deliver supplies, food and funding to Hamas under the guise of humanitarian aid , said the US federal prosecutor assigned to the case.
The US Justice Department accused Hasna of using "his senior role at a purported global humanitarian organization to raise funds and provide financing and commodities to Hamas."
The indictment alleged that he also "manipulated photographs and documents to conceal from the public and potential donors that Hamas was the actual beneficiary of his fundraising and to obfuscate the true nature of his purportedly humanitarian work."
According to the indictment, AKF’s income ballooned from $41 million in 2023 to $81 million in 2024, before further growing to around $100 million in 2025.
Hasna was accused by the US of having close ties with Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad, with the two exchanging several messages regarding the transfer of millions of dollars of funds directly to the terror group.
Hasna allegedly arranged cash transfers to Hamad, with a ledger exchanged between the two showing nearly £4 million ($5.4 million) in incoming funds and £2.3 million ($3.1 million) in expenses, including more than £500,000 ($674,500) that the FBI concluded was "personally received" by Hamad.
The FBI also alleged that Hasna and Hamad coordinated the transport, storage and distribution of aid and other supplies to Hamas in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
while concealing the terror group’s role. In one exchange, Hamad allegedly asked Hasna to film aid parcels inside a storage facility without showing identifying signs or markings linking the location to Hamas, while days later Hasna allegedly discussed diverting 5,000 food parcels to Hamad.
Hasna even asked the senior terror leader for contacts with international organizations during a 2024 exchange: "I know that you have contact with the United Nations
...boodling on the grand scale...
, the Red Thingy, and details like that. Is it possible to share their numbers with me?"
Hasna was also accused of "sending truckloads of purported humanitarian aid into Gaza under the name of the Sham Charity, to be sent to warehouses controlled by Hamas’s sham charity network before onward distribution into Gaza for the benefit of Hamas."
In a statement, the al-Khair Foundation said it was cooperating with the British probe "with a view to answering questions posed, addressing concerns raised, and taking remedial action if needed."
"We are a proudly British humanitarian organization, a registered charity with a distinguished record spanning more than two decades of delivering humanitarian assistance and alleviating poverty," it added.
The IDF has previously said the al-Khair Foundation transfers funds to terror groups in Gaza "under the guise of humanitarian activity" and that the organization has employed at least one senior Hamas official.
