The U.S. has imposed sanctions on six senior Hamas officials, targeting representatives abroad, a senior member of the Hamas military wing, and those involved in supporting fundraising efforts and weapons smuggling into Gaza. The Treasury Department aims to disrupt Hamas's efforts to secure additional revenue and hold those who facilitate the group's terrorist activities accountable. Among those targeted is a longtime member of Hamas's military wing based in Turkey, accused of being involved in multiple attempted and successful terrorist attacks. The U.S. has warned Turkey against hosting Hamas leadership, stating that leaders of a terrorist organization should not live comfortably.
