United States sanctions four activists involved in Gaza aid flotillas
The U.S. State and Treasury Departments imposed sanctions on Tuesday on four individuals tied to organizations organizing Gaza-bound aid flotillas, accusing them of providing material support to Hamas. The action coincides with Israeli naval interception of flotilla vessels attempting to deliver humanitarian assistance to Gaza. U.S. officials framed the sanctions as part of efforts to disrupt Hamas support networks operating under the guise of humanitarian activism.
