Another political storm around the Israeli government in the United States?
An investigation by the AP news agency and the left-wing organization "Shomerim" revealed that the Israeli association "Shalom Asirreich", which deals with the financing of those convicted of Jewish terrorism, openly raises funds in the United States.
According to the news agency, the association, which previously stated that it provided financial assistance to Legal Amir, the murderer of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, as well as to Amiram Ben Oliel, who was convicted of the murder of the toddler Ahmed Dawabsha and Yosef Haim Ben David, who was convicted of the shocking murder of the teenager Muhammad Abu Khadir, raised funds through the Internet "World of Charity" used by various Indian charitable organizations.
This is an online platform for raising funds and the organization that operates the site charges a commission at the rate of three percent of the donations and also asks for a recommendation of the organization that allows the most.
Both the website and the Shalom Esrireich organization refused to respond to the news agency's questions.
The report did not disclose the amount of money raised by the Israeli association in the United States.
The American Rasho Tahmisim also refused to comment on the findings of the investigation, but the news agency hinted that the association's activity might be a violation of American law and could cause a political storm, especially around the inauguration of the right-wing government in Israel.

The association "Shalom Prisoners" also caused a stir in Israel last month when it was revealed that Hanmal Dorfman, advisor and lawyer of the Minister of Internal Security Itamar Ben Gabir, is the lawyer who submitted the association's registration to the Registrar of Associations.
Dorampan himself disowned the association in an interview with Israel Today and claimed: "News 13 and Yossi Eli did me a huge injustice when they said that I was a legal advisor and fundraiser for this association. As a lawyer, I registered an association. I did not do it for the benefit of Ben Oliel or Yigal Amir, and they edited segments of the conversation ".
When Dormpman was asked if he would have registered the association if he had known its goals, he replied: "I don't run a private investigation office. I'm a lawyer. This is my livelihood. If I knew this was what the association was doing, I wouldn't have registered it. I have no connection to the association."
