Representative Ilhan Omar's campaign has come under scrutiny after Federal Election Commission filings revealed a payment of over a thousand dollars to the Palestine House of Freedom, a Washington-based nonprofit critical of Israel. The group has partnered with Birzeit University, a Palestinian institution with alleged ties to Hamas, and has hosted fundraisers supporting the university. Birzeit's student council is reportedly dominated by a Hamas-affiliated bloc, drawing concern from lawmakers and prompting Harvard University to reconsider its partnership with the school. Omar, who has previously faced criticism for her comments on Israel and American policy, has not responded to requests for comment regarding the payment.
