The sanctions block US-jurisdiction assets of designated entities and prohibit US persons from transacting with them, potentially disrupting their financial operations. Foreign financial institutions facilitating transactions for sanctioned parties may face secondary sanctions, increasing compliance costs and risks for international banks.
On July 24, 2026, the US Department of the Treasury's United States — Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) imposed sanctions on a senior Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood official, three individuals, and three entities accused of providing financial and material support to Hamas. The sanctions target networks that allegedly used charitable fronts, businesses, and underground banking channels to raise and transfer funds for Hamas's military wing. Among those designated is Mahmoud al-Abyari, a UK-based senior leader of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. The sanctions also target Indonesia-based Tujah Bulah Global, Gaza-based Madad Palestine Charitable Society, and Turkey-based El-Kahira for General Trading, along with its owner and shareholders. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated the administration will continue to pursue those financing terrorist groups. The action was coordinated with the FBI, DEA, and CBP. This is the third wave of Treasury penalties this year focusing on Muslim Brotherhood networks.
