Congressman Mike Waltz has sent a letter to Bill Gates, warning him that he may be exposed to counterterrorism sanctions because he owns a majority stake in the Four Seasons Hotel chain, which has reportedly housed Hamas terrorists.
Waltz urges Gates to publicly pledge to ban Hamas from using any properties he owns.
He also highlights previous instances where Hamas personnel have used the Four Seasons for official events. (Poll: Should Celebrities Take A Stand on Hamas-Israel War? VOTE)

Congressman Mike Waltz (R-FL) argued that Cascade Investments, an assets management firm Gates founded and owns, “reportedly acquired a 47.5 percent stake in Four Seasons Hotel and Resorts when that company went private.”
“In 2021, that control was increased by the purchase of 23.75 percent of the company from Prince al-Waleed’s Kingdom Holding Company, which increased Cascade’s share to 71.25 percent, giving it majority control of the company,” Waltz noted.
In 2015, senior Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal even held a press conference in the Four Seasons in Doha, Qatar.
One year later, Meshaal reportedly used the same hotel for a closed-door meeting with then-Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu.
Waltz emphasizes that Hamas is designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) by the US and providing material support to the group carries legal penalties.
He urges Gates to ensure that his companies and employees are not providing material support to Hamas.
Waltz also expresses concern about Gates’ silence on the recent Israeli massacre and urges him to make a statement on behalf of the people of Israel and prevent any future use of the Four Seasons by Hamas.
