Matthew Miller, Department Spokesperson Disrupting Hamas Fundraising and Advocacy EffortsThe United States is today designating six Hamas leaders who have facilitated the transfer of weapons and funds to Gaza in support of the group’s terrorist activities. This includes the smuggling of construction equipment and materials Hamas needed to build an extensive tunnel network, intentionally interspersed among Palestinian civilians, and the management of Hamas propaganda outlets. There is no distinction between Hamas’ so-called military wing and its political leadership. We will continue to use the tools at our disposal to target those who perpetuate Hamas’s destabilizing activities. The Department of the Treasury actions today were taken pursuant to counterterrorism authority Executive Order 13224, as amended. For more information on today’s action, see Treasury’s press release.
