New York CNN — The United States along with some Middle Eastern nations are stepping up efforts to target a “secret” Hamas investment portfolio government officials believe to be worth up to $1 billion.
To target the Hamas investment portfolio, a US official said Tuesday the Treasury Department is working with members of the Gulf Cooperation Council: Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates.
Following the Hamas terror attacks on Israel, US and Saudi officials convened an emergency meeting on Tuesday in Riyadh of the Terrorist Financing Targeting Center, which includes the United States and the GCC nations. The meeting was originally scheduled to take place in November.
The US official said there has been a redoubling of efforts since Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel to use the TFTC, which was created in 2017, to go after Hamas, Hezbollah and other Iranian-aligned militant groups, including by sharing relevant, timely and actionable information.
Last week, Treasury leveled sanctions on individuals that officials say are managing assets in a “secret” Hamas investment portfolio likely valued at between $400 million and $1 billion, according to a US official. The official added that the portfolio is generating significant amounts of revenue for Hamas.
Treasury has said the global portfolio of investments includes companies operating “under the guise of legitimate businesses” in Sudan, Algeria, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and other nations.
“We cannot tolerate a world in which Hamas and other terrorist organizations’ fundraisers live and operate with impunity, abusing the financial system, to sustain their terror.” Brian Nelson, Treasury’s under secretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, said during prepared remarks at the emergency TFTC meeting

Always a money angle with this admin...10% to the big guy
Check the off shore accounts of the Hamas “leadership” living the life of luxury in Qatar. Hamas is just as corrupt as Zelensky’s gang.
Unfortunately, no money that is confiscated will go to victim families.
Just $3 billion more and we’ll have it all back
Sadly, no nation is exempt from corruption.
Why is Hamas leadership in Qatar still using oxygen?
Should their lives be forfeit?
I’m thinking that we might be better off destroying Qatar while Israel does Hamas.
Could be a billion reasons. Not that it will be done, but several hundred individuals were charged with war crimes during the Kosovo trials. Hamas leaders should be told they’ll face the same fate, let them look over their sholders. But the EU won’t do the nor will the US.
The 68 square miles of Uniparty, DC is surely the most corrupt real estate in the universe.
“Just $3 billion more and we’ll have it all back”
Just $3.9 billion more and we’ll have it all back
They assassinated those responsible for the Munich massacre, maybe they will assassinate these A holes too.
If Qatar is sitting at the table for this meeting, the effort is fatally compromised. They shelter and coddle hamas leadership.
Perhaps Mossad has other, slightly more important things to worry about. Maybe the existential threat to their country, people, and family, posed by armed terrorists on their territory, or next to it, is a priority?
These wealthy terrorist ‘godfathers’ are hundreds of miles away from Israel, are physically ‘softer’ than the terrorists on the ground in occupied Israel, and are not a direct, physical threat to the people of Israel. The Hamass ‘godfathers’ WILL receive the wages they’ve earned from Yahweh, unless they repent and turn to Yeshua.
How they meet Shofat Tzadik (the Righteous Judge) is not yet known. Assuming that Yeshua Mashiach (Jesus Messiah) does not soon return, it is quite likely that Mossad will helpfully assist these Hamass ‘godfathers’ in arriving soon at their meeting with Elohim. Remember, Adolf Eichmann did not meet Shofat Tzadik (the Righteous Judge) until June 1, 1962.
Now how on Earth did these nonproductive terrorist get $1B?
Apparently, like PedoJoe, they ‘wet their beak’ on EVERYTHING that enters Gaza, to the tune of 20%. They siphon off all aid, all money, etc. that enters Gaza.
