House committee requests IRS revoke tax-exempt status of terrorism-linked groups

A House committee overseeing the IRS is asking the agency to revoke the tax-exempt status of anti-Israel groups linked to Palestinian terrorism, citing multiple reports by the Washington Examiner.

On Tuesday, Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO), House Ways and Means Committee chairman, sent letters to IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel, sharing his panel’s research on terrorism-linked groups connected to anti-Israel protests in the United States. The House Republican has been investigating the entities cited in the letters on the heels of the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attack on Israel last year.
