Washington | US authorities have imposed sanctions on 10 Hamas-linked individuals and entities in an effort to crack down on sources of funding supporting the Palestinian militant group amid the escalating conflict with Israel.
The US Treasury on Wednesday (Thursday AEDT) placed sanctions on six Hamas members managing assets in a secret investment portfolio. Actions were also taken against two senior Hamas officials – one of the group’s commanders, as well as a Qatar-based “financial facilitator with close ties to the Iranian regime”.
