FBI Director Christopher Wray to Testify Before Congress on Investigations into Individuals Affiliated with Hamas Following Attack on Israel

The FBI has launched multiple investigations into individuals affiliated with Hamas since the terrorist group attacked Israel last month, according to FBI Director Christopher Wray. Wray is set to testify before the House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday alongside Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Christine Abizaid, director of the National Counterterrorism Center.

The attack on Israel set off a “March for Israel” on the National Mall, where tens of thousands of supporters of Israel rallied under heavy security. The rally offered a resounding and bipartisan endorsement of one of America’s closest allies as criticism has intensified over Israel’s offensive in Gaza.

Wray is expected to tell Congress that the terrorism threat has been elevated due to the ongoing war in the Middle East, and that the threat of an attack against Americans in the United States has been raised to a whole other level. He is also expected to discuss the “rogue’s gallery of foreign terrorist organizations” that have been identified since the attack on Israel.

The FBI and other federal law enforcement officials are taking the threat of terrorism seriously, and are working hard to identify and investigate individuals affiliated with Hamas and other terrorist organizations. Wray’s testimony on Wednesday will provide more insight into the FBI’s efforts to combat terrorism and protect Americans from potential attacks.
