Canada slaps sanctions on top Hamas, Islamic Jihad officials
Canada on Tuesday imposed sanctions on top Hamas officials including Yahya Sinwar and Mohammed Deif over the Palestinian terror group’s attack on Israel on October 7.
Canada’s sanctions target 11 individuals, also including Palestinian Islamic Jihad leaders, for the attack and “the threat that Hamas and its affiliates pose to regional security,” the Canadian foreign ministry says in a statement.
