The U.S. State Department announced a "historic" $2 billion global health funding initiative, partnering with three faith-based organizations, including World Vision in the United Kingdom. This charity has a documented history of links to terrorism funding. In 2022, an Israeli court convicted Muhammad Halabi, World Vision's Gaza operations manager, for diverting up to $50 million to Hamas. He was later released in a hostage-prisoner exchange.

World Vision International's Israel branch was dissolved in 2024 after an Israeli Justice Ministry audit found it transferred assets to terror-linked entities and had board members advocating for boycotting Israel.
