U.S. and U.K. Impose Fourth Round of Sanctions on Hamas

Eight individuals, including key financial operatives based in Turkey and Lebanon, targeted to degrade Hamas's ability to fund further attacks.

The U.S. and U.K. have imposed a fourth round of sanctions on Hamas members and financiers, targeting eight individuals who represent Hamas abroad and manage its finances.
Some of the sanctioned individuals are based in Turkey and Lebanon, including Haroun Mansour Yaqoub Nasser Al-Din, a key financial operative for Hamas in Turkey.
The sanctions aim to degrade Hamas's ability to fund additional attacks and further destabilize the region.
This is the latest action since the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel, which resulted in the deaths of 1,200 Israelis.
Experts argue that more needs to be done, including shutting down the Incirlik air base in Turkey and cutting off Turkish banks from the financial system.
