Designating Financial Facilitators Supporting Hamas

The United States continues to degrade terrorist financing networks, including by targeting actors fundraising for Hamas.  Today, the United States is taking joint action with the United Kingdom by designating three entities:  Gaza Now, Al-Qureshi Executives, and Aakhirah Limited; and two individuals:  Mustafa Ayash and Aozma Sultana.

These targets include key financial facilitators involved in fundraising for Hamas.  Through close coordination with our allies and partners, we will continue to identify and disrupt these illicit networks.

The Department of the Treasury actions were taken pursuant to Executive Order 13224, as amended.  For more information on today’s action, see Treasury’s press release.
