In honor of the anniversary of the attack on Israel, the United States imposed sanctions against the Hamas financial network.

On the anniversary of the terrorist attack on Israel, Washington announced new measures against individuals involved in financing the Hamas group. The sanctions affect three individuals and one charity, as well as one financial institution controlled by Hamas in the Gaza Strip. In addition, restrictions were imposed against businessman Hamid al-Ahmar from Yemen, living in Turkey.

The sanctions list also includes nine companies playing a major role in financing Hamas while posing as charities. These enterprises are located in Yemen, the Czech Republic, Lebanon and Turkey. The US Treasury emphasized that these companies finance the terrorist activities of Hamas.

“All of them play an important role in the external flow of funds for Hamas, often under the guise of charitable activities that finance the group’s terrorist activities,” the US Treasury noted. This is the eighth announcement of sanctions against Hamas financial networks since the terrorist attack against Israel on October 7, 2023.

On October 7, 2024, thousands of people gathered in Tel Aviv to remember the victims of the Hamas attack on Israel. A senior US State Department official has expressed concerns about Israel's response to Iranian missile attacks, calling for wisdom in decision-making. Israel has announced the closure of military zones on its border with Lebanon, expanding its territory of control.

New sanctions and their goals became known from a message from the US Treasury
