Lebanon: Crackdown on Charities Tied to Hamas

U.S. Cracks Down on Lebanese Charities Tied to Hamas

The United States on Oct. 4 imposed financial penalties on two Lebanese charities that fundraise for Hamas, an effort by the Obama administration to disrupt the Islamist group’s activities. The U.S. Treasury added the two Beirut based charities, Al-Waqfiya and Al-Quds International Foundation, to its list of entities hit with asset freezes.
