US Treasury sanctions 4 Gaza flotilla activists, alleges Hamas support
The US Treasury has sanctioned four individuals for their involvement in flotillas attempting to reach Gaza, a day after Israeli forces intercepted multiple vessels from the Global Sumud convoy in international waters. Treasury alleged the organizers were trying to reach the Palestinian territory in support of Hamas, while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the effort sought to undermine progress toward peace in the region.
More than 50 boats left Turkey last week in an attempt to challenge Israel’s blockade of Gaza. Organizers said 10 boats were intercepted and contact was lost with 23 vessels after the operation, while at least 100 activists were reportedly arrested; Turkey condemned Israel’s action as piracy.
