U.S. and Britain Sanction Supporters of Hamas Media Network

The sanctions target individuals and entities linked to Gaza Now, aiming to disrupt funding for terrorist activities.

The U.S. and Britain have sanctioned individuals and entities supporting the Hamas media network Gaza Now, aiming to cut off funding sources for terrorist activities.
Mustafa Ayash, founder of Gaza Now, and Aozma Sultana, director of Al-Qureshi Executives and Aakhirah Limited, are among those sanctioned, facing asset freezes and business restrictions.
Gaza Now is accused of promoting Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, with the U.S. Treasury highlighting its role in online fundraising campaigns.
The sanctions follow an Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on southern Israel, which resulted in approximately 1,200 deaths and over 200 captives.
The measures are part of ongoing efforts by the U.S. and Britain to disrupt Hamas' ability to finance its operations, while ensuring the flow of humanitarian assistance.
