Crackdown on Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas Finances

Department of State

The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) and Hamas direct front organizations that move funds across jurisdictions to support terrorism. Today, the United States is addressing this threat by designating a senior UK-based Egyptian MB official and three individuals and three entities, all resident outside Egypt, that have provided material support to Hamas.

Today's action exposes the Muslim Brotherhood affiliates and Hamas‑directed front organizations that use charitable facades and underground networks to disguise and move funds in support of terrorism. The United States is committed to dismantling the financial infrastructure that sustains Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, as described in the United State Counterterrorism Strategy.
