Global Task Force Formed to Combat Hamas Funding

A new front in the Gaza war has opened, targeting Hamas' financial arm, which has largely been ignored until now. Hamas runs a vast overseas business network that has escaped scrutiny, but cracking down on it is seen as a critical part of the war effort. However, achieving a complete financial victory may prove to be as challenging as achieving a complete military victory.

EU Considers Russian Banking Concession to Preserve Black Sea Grain Deal

The European Union is considering a proposal for the Russian Agricultural Bank to establish a subsidiary in order to reconnect to the global financial network, as a way to safeguard the Black Sea grain deal that allows Ukraine to export food to global markets. The move comes as the deal, brokered by the United Nations and Turkey, is set to expire later this month. Russia is seeking the restoration of SWIFT access, resumption of supplies of farm machinery and parts, and the removal of curbs on insurance and reinsurance.

German police arrest seven in crackdown on IS finance network.

German police have arrested seven suspects on suspicion of supporting the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group by collecting donations and forwarding them to the group. The suspects allegedly belonged to an international network that solicited financial donations for IS in Syria using platforms that included Telegram. At least €65,000 ($71,552) was transferred in this way, and the money was allegedly used to support IS members imprisoned in Syria, in some cases allowing them to escape from detention. The suspects were due to appear before a magistrate to determine whether they should be held in pre-trial detention.
