Financial institutions are subject to regulatory requirements to stop the flow of funding to Hamas, as a designated terrorist group in the UK, EU, and US.
Hamas raises funds through donations from sympathizers, support from charitable organizations, alleged state sponsorship, and business ventures. The group often conceals its funding methods under the guise of humanitarian aid, diverting resources toward militant activities.
Virtual webinar to discuss the latest Hamas/terrorism funding mechanisms, understanding exposure to Hamas funding, and sharing best practices on institutional responses.
Agenda:
- Mark Nakhla, Kharon’s Hamas expert to share latest data on Hamas funding typologies.
- Jessie Apple, presentation on practical steps firms can take to build controls to identify and disrupt Hamas/TF activities.
Session moderated by Aamir Hanif.
