      US Imposes Sanctions on Gaza Companies


      The US Treasury imposed sanctions on two companies from the Gaza Strip because of their connections to the Hamas terror organization.

      CEO of the Land of Israel Legal Forum Nachie Eyal responded by saying how it's "an ironic situation where Israel actually allows the transfer of millions of dollars in cash to Hamas indirectly helping to finance arms of terrorist organizations," whereas the US Treasury is imposing boycotts.

      Eyal wrote a letter to Defense Minister Ehud Barak demanding that he halt the transfer of $13.5 million funded by UNRWA for Hamas controlled Gaza.
