Overview

Hamas has long been supported and funded by the Iranian government, while also raising and moving money via a comprehensive international network that includes charities, fronts, facilitators, and advocates dedicated to raising funds for its activities.

In the aftermath of the October 2023 attacks on Israel, organizations linked to and supporting Hamas initiated public fundraising campaigns purportedly to aid Gaza. These efforts utilize online payment platforms, social media, and accounts within global financial institutions.

In this webinar, join terrorist financing experts from Kharon and ACAMS Omaha and Houston chapters for a discussion on Hamas’s fundraising, including:

• A discussion on Hamas's primary fundraising mechanisms, emphasizing the strategic use of charities and its broad international investment portfolio.
• Explore the pathways of Hamas’s funds, including how the terrorist organization navigates the international financial system to avoid detection.
• Assess new fundraising efforts for Gaza that have commenced recently, identifying key methods employed to accumulate and transfer funds, including crowdsourcing, traditional bank deposits, cryptocurrency transactions, and more.
• Case studies to help in the identification of terrorist financing.
