Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat.

(PIJ) figures, in their latest coordinated asset freezes and travel bans aimed at regional terrorists.

Five "key figures" and an entity said to be involved in the leadership and financial networks of Hamas and PIJ were targeted, the British government says.

The measures "will help to cut off the flow of funding that supports these terrorist groups, including from Iran", it adds.

Western nations have imposed a growing number of sanctions on Hamas and its allies since the Paleostinian terror group’s unprecedented October 7 onslaught on Israel.

"These sanctions send a clear message to Hamas — the UK and our partners are committed to ensuring there is no hiding place for those financing terrorist activities," Foreign Secretary David Cameron
...Empty suit Brit pol, former PM, has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite, which means he's not. Since he is not deeply ideological he lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger, but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel...

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

, Hamas can no longer be in power and able to threaten Israel. By disrupting the financial networks which sustain Hamas’ operation, including from Iran, these sanctions support that crucial aim."

Britannia and the United States announce multiple rounds of coordinated sanctions at the end of last year targeting Hamas and its Iranian backers.

London says its latest curbs will result in asset freezes, travel bans and arms embargoes, though it is unclear whether any of those targeted had assets in Britannia or had travelled there in recent years.

Zuheir Shamlakh is among those sanctioned, with Britannia claiming he had "an infamous reputation as Hamas’s ’main money changer’ since 2019."

He was "a key figure in the group’s shift towards cryptocurrencies," and had "exploited" digital currencies and informal money transfer systems to move "large sums of money from Iran

to Hamas" before October 7, London says.

Britannia also sanctioned Ahmed Sharif Abdallah Odeh, allegedly a key operator in Hamas’s financial network, and Ismail Barhoum, a member of its political bureau in Gaza and its governing council.

Hassan al-Wardian, said to be a big shot of Hamas in the West Bank, and Jamil Yusuf Ahmad Aliyan, an alleged senior PIJ official in Gaza, were the remaining two people sanctioned, London adds.
