The UK, along with G7 partners, has pledged to take action to deny Hamas the ability to raise and use funds to commit atrocities. On Friday 19 January 2024, the EU announced a new EU sanctions regime against Hamas (https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2024/01/19/hamas-and-palestinian-islamic-jihad-council-establishes-dedicated-sanctions-framework-and-lists-six-individuals/) and imposed sanctions on 6 sites previously sanctioned by the UK and the US.
This is the third package of sanctions imposed by the UK against Hamas and its associates since 7 October under the UK’s international anti-terrorism sanctions regime. Previous packages targeted other senior Hamas officials and financiers.
