Treasury Designates Hamas but Leaves US Support Network Intact

Treasury Department officials sanctioned several Hamas members last week in a largely "superficial" move that critics charge will do little to degrade the terror group behind the Oct. 7 massacre in Israel.

The designation, which comes in the wake of the slaughter of at least 1,400 Israeli civilians by Hamas terrorists, also offers a stark reminder that the Islamist group's leaders established a foothold in the U.S. decades ago that has evolved into a major player within the Democratic Party.
