US imposes sanctions on a Palestinian NGO and other charities, accusing them ties to militant groups
June 10, 2025
The U.S. Treasury Department on Tuesday imposed sanctions on a major Palestinian legal group for prisoners and detainees along with five other charitable entities across the Middle East, Africa and Europe, accusing them of supporting Palestinian armed factions and militant groups, including Hamas’ military wing, under the pretense of humanitarian aid in Gaza. One of the organizations sanctioned is Addameer, a well-known legal group that represents Palestinian prisoners. Israel has alleged that Addameer funds terrorism, a claim that the United Nations previously said it could not support with compelling evidence.
