As reported by JNS, Qatar Foundation International (QFI) has informed its partners that it is winding down its operations in the United States. This move follows a report by the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) which alleged that the entity had funneled over $65 million into U.S. educational programs between 2009 and 2025. The closure raises questions about the extent of Qatari influence in American K-12 and university education systems.
