The United States has taken targeted sanctions against five individuals and five sham charities that allegedly support Hamas under the guise of humanitarian work. The action, announced today, also targets a fraudulent charity linked to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
According to the Department of State, these organizations operate in various countries, including Türkiye, Algeria, the Netherlands, Italy, and the West Bank and Gaza. The sanctions aim to prevent abuse of the nonprofit sector by terrorist groups like Hamas and the PFLP.
The United States is committed to ensuring that humanitarian aid can be delivered safely and effectively through reliable organizations. To achieve this goal, the Department will use all available tools to disrupt the financial networks of these sanctioned entities.
The sanctions are being taken pursuant to Executive Order 13224, as amended. The Office of the Spokesperson has released more information on today's action, which can be found on the Department of the Treasury's press releases website.
This move is part of the US government's ongoing efforts to combat terrorist financing and support the global fight against terrorism.
