Treasury Disrupts Sham Overseas Charity Networks Funding Hamas and the PFLP

WASHINGTON — Today, the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is sanctioning five individuals and five sham charities located abroad that are prominent financial supporters of Hamas’s Military Wing and its terrorist activities. The individuals and entities sanctioned today are responsible for funding Hamas’s Military Wing under the pretense of conducting humanitarian work, both internationally and in Gaza. Treasury is also targeting a separate fraudulent charity linked to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). As outlined in Treasury’s 2024 National Terrorist Financing Risk Assessment, terrorist financing risks still exist primarily in the context of sham charities abroad.
