EXCLUSIVE — PayPal has become the third major payment processor to cut ties with an anti-Israel group as a direct result of a Washington Examiner series on its Palestinian terror connections.
Republican lawmakers, including Sens. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz , and Rep. Darrell Issa , earlier this month called on PayPal to stop handling donations for the Arizona-based Alliance for Global Justice, a charity that has come under legal pressure for its ties to Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a U.S.-designated terror group.
AFGJ had to move its fundraising operation to PayPal after Stripe, the Irish-American payment processor that handled $817 billion transactions in 2022, parted ways with it in early September. Salsa Labs stopped working with AFGJ in February, prompting the Arizona charity to put out a 1,000-word statement urging donors to send paper checks.
Prior to PayPal cutting ties with Alliance for Global Justice, Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee had a call with leadership from the company. In that call, PayPal appeared caught off guard by national security concerns from the panel over the company boosting AFGJ, and indicated it was opening a review, according to a source on the call who is not authorized to speak publicly. On the Senate side, Rubio contacted the Treasury Department for answers.
