Asset freeze, Financial Prohibitions, Arms embargo

On October 7, 2023, the Hamas terrorist organization launched a brutal attack from Gaza on several Israeli communities. The Government of Canada has put in place measures in response to the attacks and the ensuing conflict. The sanctions list individuals for their participation in activities that have facilitated, supported, provided funding for or contributed to the terrorist attacks by Hamas and its affiliates against Israel beginning on October 7, 2023. There is strong international consensus amongst Canada’s allies and partners on the importance of further reinforcing measures to isolate, delegitimize, and counter Hamas’ ability to operate, raise funds and carry out terrorist acts.
