US Seizes Over $560,000 in Cryptocurrency Linked to Hamas Funding
The U.S. Department of Justice announced the seizure of over $560,000 in cryptocurrency, which authorities allege was intended to fund Hamas. This action is part of ongoing efforts to disrupt the organization's financing schemes.
In addition to confiscating the funds, the operation also targeted platforms and websites used by Hamas for soliciting donations and recruiting supporters. U.S. officials stated that these seizures deprive Hamas of resources crucial for its online activities and the financing of attacks.
Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg commented that the confiscated assets hinder Hamas's ability to recruit and radicalize individuals online, as well as fund violent acts, referencing the October 7, 2023 attacks. The Justice Department affirmed its commitment to continuing measures against financial networks supporting Hamas.
