They have identified\u200b organizations such as the Union of Palestinian \u200dWomen\u2019s \u2064Committees and Al-Haq as potential \u200bsupporters of Hamas and Hezbollah. The letter emphasizes the\u200d need to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">disrupt financial support flowing<\/a> to these \u2063foreign entities to thwart terrorism. The discussion has gained \u200ctraction following\u200c pro-Israel advocacy \u200daround sanctions recently taken against Samidoun, which has come under scrutiny for its alleged connections to terrorist activities over the years.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Biden-Harris administration pressed to sanction Palestinian terrorism-tied groups<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1842834\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>EXCLUSIVE <\/strong>&mdash; A coalition of pro-Israel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/watchdog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>watchdogs<\/a> is pressing the Biden-Harris administration to sanction a network of groups that the coalition warns are fronts for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/palestinian\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Palestinian<\/a> terrorist factions, according to a letter.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Final-Coalition-Letter.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>letter<\/a>, sent on Wednesday to the Treasury Department and its top official, Janet Yellen, singled out several entities that the Israeli government <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/143811\/justice-department-should-investigate-front-groups-for-palestinian-terror-organization-legal-group\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>designated<\/a> in 2021 as proxies for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terrorist group.
