U.S., UK Sanction Hamas-Aligned Terrorist Fundraising Network
(U.S. Treasury Department) On Wednesday, the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated two individuals and three entities as key financial facilitators involved in fundraising for Hamas. This action is being taken as part of a collaborative effort with the UK Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation, which is implementing sanctions on these same targets. "Treasury remains committed to degrading Hamas' ability to finance its terrorist activities, including through online fundraising campaigns that seek to funnel money directly to the group," said Undersecretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian E. Nelson.
