The United States imposes sanctions on an international Hamas fundraising network, accusing it of playing a critical role in external fundraising for the Palestinian terror group, in action marking the first anniversary of the terror group’s atrocities in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
The US Treasury Department in a statement says it imposed sanctions on three people and what it calls a “sham charity” that it accuses of being prominent international financial supporters of Hamas, as well as on the Al-Intaj Bank in Gaza that it says is controlled by the group.
Also targeted is a longstanding Hamas supporter, a Yemeni national living in Turkey, and nine of his businesses, the Treasury says.
“As we mark one year since Hamas’s brutal terrorist attack, Treasury will continue relentlessly degrading the ability of Hamas and other destabilizing Iranian proxies to finance their operations and carry out additional violent acts,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says in the statement.
“The Treasury Department will use all available tools at our disposal to hold Hamas and its enablers accountable, including those who seek to exploit the situation to secure additional sources of revenue.”
