WhatsApp Founder Gives $2 Million to Pro-Israel Lobby Group to Defeat Pro-Palestine Candidates - Tasnim News Agency

The founder of WhatsApp made a record $2 million donation to the pro-Israel lobby group American Israel Public Affairs Committee's (AIPAC) campaign in the Democratic primaries in the US last month.

Ukrainian-born Jewish inventor, Jan Koum, made the donation to help defeat pro-Palestinian candidates.

Details uncovered by Israel's Haaretz newspaper show that the multibillionaire has doubled his donations to the controversial pro-Israel lobby, which critics say is an "existential threat" to the US Democratic Party following a surge in funds that secured victories for pro-Israel candidates.
