Georgetown Scrutinized Over Student's Hamas Ties

Georgetown University is facing criticism for enrolling Mapheze Saleh, a student with alleged ties to Hamas, following revelations from a watchdog group. Saleh, a graduate student in Arab Studies, is the daughter of Ahmed Yousef, a senior adviser to Hamas, which the U.S. designates as a terrorist organization. Her academic and professional background includes working for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Gaza and contributing to pro-Palestinian media outlets. The university has been accused of removing her online profile after these connections were reported. Saleh has also been active on social media, praising Hamas and condemning Israel, which has sparked further controversy. The situation has raised concerns about university policies and the extent of its awareness regarding Saleh's affiliations.
