The US State Department announced on Friday that Washington will pay up to $10 million in exchange for information about 5 Hamas financiers or anything that would disrupt the movement’s financing mechanisms.
The reward offer comes after four rounds of US sanctions on Hamas after its incursion into Israel on October 7.
The ministry stated in a statement that the five wanted persons are Abdel Basset Hamza Al-Hassan Mohamed Khair, Amer Kamal Sharif Al-Shawa, Ahmed Sado Jahlab, Walid Mohamed Mustafa Jadallah, and Mohamed Ahmed Abdel-Dayem Nasrallah, who were previously classified by the United States as global terrorists.
The ministry added that the first financier, known as Hamza, resides in Sudan and manages several companies in Hamas’ investment portfolio, and participated in transferring about $20 million to Hamas.
The ministry reported that he has ties to former Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir and extremist groups that undermine stability in Sudan, according to what Sky News Arabia reported.
She continued that three of the aforementioned Hamas financiers, Amer Kamal Sharif Al-Shawa, Ahmed Sado Jahlab, and Walid Muhammad Mustafa Jadallah, form part of Hamas’ investment network in Turkey.
The ministry stated that Nasrallah has close ties to Iranian entities and is involved in transferring tens of millions of dollars to Hamas.
“Rewards will be offered for information on any source of revenue for Hamas, major donors and financial institutions that facilitate Hamas’ transactions, front companies that purchase dual-use technology for Hamas, and criminal schemes that financially benefit the movement,” she said.
