US and allies to ramp up sanctions against Hamas

US Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo announced on Thursday that the US and its allies plan to implement additional sanctions soon to cut off financial support to Hamas.

"We're going to see actions taken by our allies and partners," Adeyemo said.

"Some of them will be publicly announced, some of them people will not see in terms of shutting down charities and individuals who may be helping to facilitate payments for Hamas."

He also added that Hamas will grow its use of cryptocurrency to "hide their illicit activities".
