US Treasury Takes Action Against |Pro-Hamas Gaza Flotilla Operatives
The US Treasury's OFAC sanctioned four individuals connected to a pro-Hamas flotilla, aiming to disrupt Hamas's global financial support networks.
Jerusalem, 19 May, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Today, Tuesday, the US Treasury Departments’ Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is taking action against four individuals associated with the pro-Hamas flotilla organized by the U.S.-designated Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad that is attempting to access Gaza in support of Hamas.
While Israel intercepted a number of the flotilla’s ships, there are still some at sea attempting to make their way to Gaza.
OFAC is also taking action against key actors operating within Hamas-aligned Muslim Brotherhood networks.
“Hamas relies on a diverse web of international partners to expand its malign political influence, facilitate violent terrorist activity, and undermine international efforts to achieve lasting peace in Gaza,” it said.
America’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated, “The pro-terror flotilla attempting to reach Gaza is a ludicrous attempt to undermine President Trump’s successful progress toward lasting peace in the region. Treasury will continue to sever Hamas’ global financial support networks, no matter where in the world they are.”
