$1.7 million raised in scheme for Hamas, including from U.S. donors, feds say

60 Minutes
What the coverage shows
Both CBS News and 60 Minutes frame the story around prosecutors’ allegations that a fundraising campaign tied to humanitarian aid was used for Hamas and that U.S. donors were among those who contributed. CBS News is more direct in its headline about the $1.7 million scheme and the federal claim, while 60 Minutes foregrounds the allegation that Americans donated money that was later funneled to Hamas. Only CBS News’s extract names Saleem Alzaq and describes him as a longtime Hamas member.
