The third round of sanctions targets key members of the group and the mechanisms through which Iran provides support to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
The United States and Great Britain have introduced new sanctions against the terrorist group Hamas, including its financiers. This was stated in the statements of the US Treasury and State Department.
The third round of sanctions targets key members of the group and the mechanisms through which Iran provides support to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (an Islamist group based in Syria).
It noted that the sanctions are in line with UK actions and aimed at protecting the international financial system from abuses by Hamas and their proxies.
Seven individuals and two entities that provided support or acted on behalf of Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad were added to the sanctions list.
The US State Department simultaneously announced sanctions against Akram al-Ajouri, the leader of the Al-Quds Brigades, the militant wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
Recall that the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the US Treasury Department on October 27 initiated a second round of sanctions against key officials associated with Hamas for attacks on Israel and its civilian population.
Japan has also reportedly imposed sanctions against nine members of Palestinian militant groups and their affiliated companies.
