US Sanctions Palestinian Group, Other Charities
The US government is punishing several charities, including a Palestinian group called Addameer.
They believe these groups are secretly helping militant groups, like Hamas, by using charity work as a cover.
Addameer provides legal help to Palestinian prisoners.
The US government claims that Addameer is linked to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which both the US and Israel consider a terrorist group.
However, the UN previously stated it could not support the claim that Addameer funds terrorism with convincing evidence.
This action involves freezing their assets and preventing them from accessing funds.
US Treasury Department sanctioned a Palestinian legal group, Addameer, and five other charities.
The sanctions accuse the groups of supporting militant groups, including Hamas.
Addameer provides legal aid to Palestinian prisoners and detainees.
Zachor Legal Institute requested Addameer be added to the sanctions list.
The UN previously stated it could not support the claim of Addameer funds terrorism with evidence.
