On March 18, 2010, the U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on Hamas’ Al-Aqsa TV and designated it a terrorism financing organization. The actions taken by the U.S. Treasury Department freeze all assets held by Al-Aqsa TV under U.S. jurisdiction, and prohibits U.S. persons from engaging in any transactions with them. The Treasury Department stated that Al-Aqsa TV is financed and controlled by Hamas and that it serves as a primary Hamas media outlet that airs programs “designed to recruit children to become Hamas armed fighters and suicide bombers upon reaching adulthood.” It should be noted that U.S.-based online platforms are banned from hosting it.[1]
