USA government blocks Iran from $6 billion that was initially going to be transferred
The Biden administration is preventing Iran from accessing the $6 billion the U.S. recently transferred after Hamas, an Iranian-backed terrorist group, launched a brutal attack against Israel, The Washington Post reported Thursday.Now, will they be willing to provide Israel that money instead, since civilized societies need it far more than a tyranny like Iran? The money could even go to sensible communities in Europe, and of course, Jewish communities and women that need security as well. What Biden and company did was entirely uncalled for, and we've since seen the horrible results.
The Biden administration originally cut a deal with Iran to transfer $6 billion in previously frozen assets in exchange for five American prisoners. The administration is now working with fund manager Qatar to hold up the $6 billion after Iran’s ally Hamas launched a wave of attacks against Israel on Saturday, killing over 1,200 Israelis and at least 25 Americans and kidnapping hundreds more.
[...] Both Democrat and Republican lawmakers demanded the Biden administration refreeze the $6 billion transfer after the attacks began on Saturday. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas announced legislation to refreeze the transfer less than 24 hours before the Biden administration made the decision to do so.

Update 3: the IDF demolished a pizza restaurant in Huwara belonging to a man who demeaned the victims of the attack.
