Australian charity funnelling millions in donations directly to Israeli soldiers: Report

An Australian charity, which says it raises funds for humanitarian causes in Israel, transferred nearly $29m in donations in 2024 to Keren Hayesod, a self-described "pillar" of the state of Israel and its "national priorities", which include support for members of the Jewish diaspora who come from around the world to enlist in the Israeli army.

Israel's genocide in Gaza was at its peak in 2024, with more than 100 people being killed each day, the majority of them women and children.

The charity in question is United Israel Appeal (UIA) Australia. It is Keren Hayesod's fundraising arm in the country.
