As US seeks Gaza donor’s extradition, wife warns of ‘terrifying precedent’

A wealthy American donor to Palestinian causes, James 'Fergie' Chambers, faces extradition from Spain to the United States over alleged financial support of Hamas. His wife, Stella Schnabel, and legal representatives claim this is an act of 'political persecution,' arguing that Chambers, who supports humanitarian efforts in Gaza, is being targeted by U.S. authorities. Chambers was arrested in Ibiza while searching for a school for his child, with Spanish authorities considering the U.S. extradition request. The case is described as potentially setting a dangerous precedent for restricting humanitarian aid and activism related to Palestine. The indictment remains sealed, and Chambers denies wrongdoing.
