EU Imposes Sanctions on Yahya Sinwar

Today, Tuesday, EU member states have listed Yahya Sinwar, the head of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in Gaza, on their sanctions list in response to the surprise attack launched by the movement on Israel last October. Sinwar will now face the freezing of his funds and other financial assets in EU member states, and companies and institutions operating in the EU are prohibited from providing him with funds and economic resources.
