US lists Hamas leader Haniyeh as “specially designated terrorist”

The US government has classified Hamas Politburo Chief Ismail Haniyeh as a specially designated terrorist, becoming the first country outside of Israel to do so, the State Department announced Wednesday. All his assets under US jurisdiction are to be frozen. “Ismail Haniyeh has been involved in the Hamas military wing’s armed campaign of terrorism against Israel and civilians for years if not decades,” the statement said. Haniya is also held responsible for the murder of 17 Americans in terrorist attacks.
DEBKAfile: This announcement came 24 hours after the US and Qatar signed a pact of cooperation in the war on terror. It obliges Qatar to seize all properties and assets belonging to Haniyeh and to take him into custody at America’s request if he sets foot in the emirate.

Also blacklisted is Harkaat al-Sabareen, an Iranian-backed terror group in the Gaza Strip which broke away from the pro-Iranian Islamic Jihad in May 2014. The US has added two Egyptian offshoots of the Muslim Brotherhood, Liwa al-Thura and Hazm, to its list of Foreign Terror Organizations.
