The decision was implemented in the interest of curbing Hamas violence, according to the measure. The measure stated that the terrorist organization's military wings are subject to political leaders.
Hamas figure Khaled Mashaal accidentally says "To a free Israel, with God's help" at the Al Jazeera Forum in Doha on February 8, 2026. The sanctions were announced by the European Union without naming additional individuals beyond those listed in the measure.
