  • Hanan al-Hroub, a Palestinian teacher scheduled to speak at a Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting dinner event on 20 September 2016, drew criticism from Republicans because her husband, Omar al-Hroub, is a Palestinian official who served 10 years in an Israeli prison for supplying chemicals used in a deadly bombing attack in Hebron that killed six Israelis in 1980 — especially given the close proximity (in both time and distance) of the speaking engagement to recent bomb attacks in New York and New Jersey. For example, Raj Shah, ​deputy ​communications director of the Republican National Committee, stated that: Donald Trump's campaign similarly issued a press release titled Statement on Clinton Foundation Honoring Wife of Palestinian Terrorist, objecting to al-Hroub's appearance at the Clinton Global Initiative dinner: Mrs. al-Hroub has become famous in her own right, independently of her husband, as described in a March 2016 Guardian profile of her achievements that delved into her experiences and her path to worldwide recognition: Prior to the Clinton Foundation-related controversy, the Associated Press reported on a similar issue surrounding Mrs. al-Hroub's March 2016 receipt of a global award for excellence in education: Al-Hroub's biography, as presented among those of the speakers at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI)'s Annual Meeting from 19 to 21 September 2016, reads: Hanan al-Hroub was one of several dozen people invited to speak during the Clinton Global Initiative's Annual Meeting; she was not singled out to be honored or feted by that event.
