The Biden administration has denied that a recent prisoner swap with Iran contributed to the terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas militants. Republicans had claimed that the $6 billion in funds unfrozen as part of the swap played a role in the attack. However, the State Department stated that not a penny of the funds had been spent. The Biden administration has insisted that the money will not be given directly to Iran and can only be used for humanitarian purposes. There is no evidence yet linking Iran directly to the attack.
