Yahya Sinwar, the chairman of Hamas in Gaza, was added by the European Union on Tuesday to its blacklist of “terrorists” in retaliation for the assaults on Israel on October 7.
Due to the action, Sinwar’s assets are frozen within the 27-nation bloc, and EU nationals are not permitted to interact with him.
Israel Katz, the foreign minister of Israel, praised the action in a statement.
According to Katz, “our diplomatic efforts to strangle the Hamas’s resources, to delegitimize them, and to prohibit all support to them” are what led to the decision.
