Funds meant for Israelis after terror wars allegedly stolen, betraying resilience while enemies exploit suffering.
Israeli investigators are probing serious suspicions that charitable donations earmarked to help civilians affected by the Gaza fighting and Operation Rising Lion against Iran were diverted for private gain. According to investigators, contributions from donors in Israel and overseas—intended to support residents during wartime recovery—were first transferred into a municipal community fund, then allegedly misused.
Authorities suspect that money from the fund was channeled through fictitious services. Business figures reportedly submitted false invoices, received payments, and then funneled portions of the funds back to the main suspect and close associates, either in cash or other personal benefits. The alleged scheme, if proven, represents a direct abuse of solidarity extended to Israelis under fire from terror organizations and hostile regimes.
The central suspect, Glam, was detained for questioning on Monday morning while in Eilat. His arrest came in stark contrast to remarks he delivered just minutes earlier at a public conference, where he declared: “My mother taught me never to misuse public funds.” Investigators view that statement as particularly jarring given the accusations now under review.
The case underscores Israel’s internal accountability even during wartime—demonstrating that while Israel confronts terrorism and regional aggression, it also enforces the rule of law at home, unlike Gaza’s rulers and their foreign backers who routinely siphon aid without scrutiny.
