Taher al-Nono, media adviser to Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, has called for an end to the EU’s “double-standard policy”.
“These are ridiculous and silly sanctions because everyone knows that Yahya Sinwar has no assets or money neither in Palestine nor outside it,” he told Reuters.
“Such a decision has no value against Hamas, but the idea of imposing sanctions on the leaders of the resistance and Hamas, which is resisting the [Israeli] occupation as granted by international law, shows bias to the occupation.”
Earlier we reported that Sinwar has been subjected to an asset freeze in the 27-nation bloc and placed on the EU “terrorist” list.
