The US Treasury sanctioned two Gaza firms for their ties to Hamas.

The Treasury announced Thursday it would impose sanctions on the Islamic National Bank and Al-Aksa Television, Reuters reported.

Under the sanctions, Americans are prohibited from doing business with the companies. The Treasury also will seek to freeze any assets the firms have in the United States.

The Islamic National Bank is operating outside the legitimate financial system in Gaza, and Al-Aksa television is financed and controlled by Hamas and used to promote suicide bombing among Palestinian children, according to the Treasury, Reuters reported.

What moron wrote this? The government in Gaza is the legal elected government. The government in the West Bank is a fake. If the fake government does not sanction it, what does it matter? The bank is a private corporation with no political connections.

Hamas has stopped suicide bombing years ago and is opposed to the practice.

It looks like Israel lied (as usual) to our government.
