Secretary Yellen’s Department of the Treasury announced today that America has issued sanctions aimed at disrupting funding for the Hamas terrorist group after its barbaric attack on Israel October 7. Those sanctioned include 10 senior members and “financial facilitators” of the Hamas terrorist group, as well as roughly 1,000 individuals and entities connected to Iranian terror financing.  

The 10 individuals relating to Hamas are based in Gaza, Qatar, Turkey, Algeria, and Sudan. The sanctions struck Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terror organizations in the Middle East. A senior Treasury official labeled them part of a “massive financial network.”
