US Sanctions Alleged Hamas Fundraising Network Including French Charities

The United States imposed sanctions on Friday on three individuals and two charities based in France, accusing them of involvement in a fundraising network supporting Hamas.

US authorities alleged that the network had raised more than $2 million for the movement. The sanctions target those Washington accuses of participating in that effort.

The two charities’ inclusion places France-based organizations at the center of the allegations. The brief announcement did not identify the charities or the three individuals.

Further details on how the money was collected or allegedly directed to Hamas were not provided in the available summary. It also contained no response from those targeted.
