Over 100 House Republicans are backing a bill that would refreeze the $6 billion in Iranian funds that the Biden administration unfroze last month in a prisoner swap, a move that continues to draw harsh criticism from the GOP.
“The Biden Administration’s ‘quiet understanding’ is not good enough," Pfluger continued."They must plainly reject any funds going to Iran. Since the Administration refuses to permanently freeze the funds, Congress will.” "The Biden Administration first downplayed Iran's role in Hamas' attacks and then, astonishingly, tried to claim the $6 billion they gave to Iran has nothing to do with it,” Hern said in a statement. “Appeasing Iran does not work, it just gives them more resources to finance terrorism against Israel and cause chaos in the region. Iran provides over $100 million a year to Hamas; the Biden administration just gave $6 billion to Hamas' biggest backer.
