Canada sanctions Hamas leaders as Joly calls for more aid in Gaza

By WNews 1 Min Read

Canada has sanctioned nearly a dozen militants in response to the brutal attack by Hamas and other groups on Israel last year.

Canadians are now barred from any financial dealings with 10 people linked to Hamas, including senior leaders, and one person associated with a Palestinian militant group called Islamic Jihad.

Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said she hopes that will hinder fundraising for Hamas, which Ottawa lists as a terrorist organization.

Canada has sanctioned Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, who is accused of plotting the brutal Oct. 7 attack that killed 1,200 people in Israel and took another 250 hostage.
