Robert Kraft's donations to Palestinians have been called into question. Coverage from The Intercept reveals that Kraft's funds actually go to Friends of the IDF. This contradicts Kraft's claims of supporting Palestinians.

The news comes after Ed Sheeran was involved in a public feud with Macklemore over their respective donations to Palestine. However, it appears that Kraft's donations were not what they seemed. The reporting on Kraft's donations is largely consistent, with The Intercept being the primary source.

However, the exact extent of Kraft's involvement with Friends of the IDF is still unclear.
