Key panels urge sanctions on Qatar, Turkey over Hamas
Members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee want the Treasury Department to "take all necessary measures" to stop Qatari and Turkish support for Hamas.
Two key House panels are stepping up their rhetoric against Qatar and Turkey and urging that the Treasury Department take "all necessary measures" against the two countries if they continue to support Hamas.
Leaders of the House Foreign Affairs subcommittees on terrorism and the Middle East are gathering signatures on a letter to the Treasury's top sanctions official praising his efforts to date but demanding his "immediate attention" to their request that more be done. The letter is expected to draw strong bipartisan support and has been in the works since the panels held a joint hearing on Hamas financing back in September, a committee source tells Al-Monitor.
