More from MEF
Omar Suleiman, founder of the Yaqeen Institute, has been a prominent public booster of the Human Development Fund as the charity’s revenue jumped from $1.1 million in 2023 to more than $33 million in 2024. While the fund is not explicitly anti-Israel, it enjoys the support of Suleiman, who has declared the “Zionist project is entirely built on Palestinian extermination.”
