US alleges Turkey funds Hamas via UK charity
The U.S. authorities have charged a Turkish citizen named Muhammad Yusuf Hasna with conspiracy to support and finance Hamas by using a humanitarian organization registered in Britain. The complaint accuses Hasna, who serves as the CEO of an alleged charitable foundation, of coordinating with Hamas leaders to deliver funds, food aid, and supplies to Gaza, while concealing the true destination through misleading information. The organization estimates that its revenues increased from approximately $41.8 million in 2023 to over $81.56 million in 2024, and it spent around $91 million on its activities in 2025. Hasna faces three charges related to providing material support and financing terrorism, with potential penalties of up to 20 years in prison if convicted. The accused is currently detained in Britain and is facing extradition procedures to the United States.
