A previously scheduled meeting of a body formed in 2017 including the U.S., Saudi Arabia and five other states was brought forward this week from next month, according to the U.S. Treasury.
An Israeli soldier displays military equipment and ammunition that Hamas and Palestinian militants used at the time of the attack on the Israeli south border with the Gaza Strip, on Friday, Oct. 20, 2023, in Haifa, Israel. The U.S. has called on Gulf Arab states to help clamp down on a suspected increase in fundraising by the terrorist group Hamas following its deadly attack on Israel earlier this month.
“This moment should bring a profound sense of urgency, clarity and purpose to the work that we do,” Nelson said in his prepared remarks at the meeting. “The ability to act — to cut off the financial flows that feed terrorism — is a duty we all share.” The Biden administration is asking its Gulf Arab allies to look as closely as possible at the operations of previously sanctioned Hamas-linked charities and entities in their jurisdictions as well as any suspicious activities by newly created ones, said a U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the delicate discussions underway.
Those targeted include three individuals managing assets for Hamas estimated by the Treasury last year to be worth about $500 million.
