While the Israeli-Hamas war rages there are reports indicating the United States and United Kingdom have imposed a fresh round of sanctions seeking to cut off funding for the Palestinian group following its attack on Israel last month.
Britain’s newly-appointed foreign minister, David Cameron, was quoted in a statement saying
“We will continue to use every tool at our disposal to disrupt the abhorrent activity of this terrorist organisation, working with the United States and our other allies, making it harder for them to operate and isolating them on the world stage,” .
The United States announced its third round of sanctions since the attack, targeting key Hamas officials and the mechanisms through which Iran provides support to Hamas and its ally Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ).
Britain added sanctions on four Hamas senior leaders and two financiers, the Foreign Office said in a statement, including the group’s political leader in Gaza and the commander of its military arm
