In a statement, the Treasury Department said the new sanctions were targeted at “ten key Hamas terrorist group members, operatives, and financial facilitators in Gaza and elsewhere including Sudan, Türkiye, Algeria, and Qatar” as part of a “a continuous effort by the United States to root out Hamas’s sources of revenue in the West Bank and Gaza and across the region ... in close coordination with regional partners and allies”.
