The European Union (EU) decided on Friday to impose sanctions on six more people and three companies for funding the Islamist groups Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which the bloc considers terrorists.
The EU Council statement indicated that the companies in question are Zawaya Group for Development and Investment Co Ltd., Larrycom for Investment Ltd. and Al Zawaya Group for Development and Investment Sociedad Limited – owned by Abdelbasit Hamza Elhassan Mohamed Khair, based in Sudan and subject to EU restrictive measures since January 2024.
According to the Council, all three organizations were linked to Hamas’ investment portfolio and served as front companies to facilitate financial flows for the Palestinian Islamist movement.
