"Over 100 Lawmakers Support House Republican Bill to Refreeze $6 Billion in Iranian Funds"

House Republicans, led by Rep. August Pfluger, are introducing legislation to halt the release of $6 billion in frozen funds to Iran following the Iran-backed Hamas attacks on Israel. The bill aims to re-freeze the funds that were released as part of a prisoner swap, which the Biden administration insists can only be used for humanitarian purposes. Republicans argue that the money is fungible and could indirectly support Hamas. The bill has gained 106 co-sponsors and is supported by the Republican Study Committee. The Biden administration has rejected claims that the funds are linked to the Hamas attacks and has reached a "quiet understanding" with Qatar not to release the money to Iran.
