FOX Business host Larry Kudlow provides insight on the Israel-Hamas war on ‘Kudlow.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Janet Yellen’s Treasury Department announced today that the U.S. has issued sanctions aimed at disrupting funding for the Hamas terrorist group after its barbaric attack on Israel<\/u> last Oct. 7. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sanctions include 10 senior members and “financial facilitators” of the Hamas terrorist group, as well as roughly 1,000 individuals and entities connected to Iranian terror financing. The 10 individuals related to Hamas are based in Gaza, Qatar, Turkey, Algeria and Sudan. The sanctions struck Hamas, Hezbollah and other terror organizations in the Middle East. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
A senior Treasury official labeled them part of a “massive financial network,” and then, according to the Treasury press release, Janet Yellen says: “The United States is taking swift and decisive action to target Hamas’ financiers and facilitators following its brutal and unconscionable massacre of Israeli<\/u> civilians, including children.” \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
BILL TO FREEZE $6 BILLION IN IRANIAN ASSETS INTRODUCED BY TOP REPUBLICAN<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n My first response is: OK, that’s good. Better late than never. My second response is:\u00a0baloney. This is purely a defensive, backpedaling maneuver after across-the-board criticism leveled at the administration that it has not beefed up Iranian sanctions and has not defunded Iran \u2014 indeed, has not executed Iranian sanctions in years. This is the Biden administration running scared, trying to blow smoke at everybody now, sanctioning thousands of people \u2014 which is almost like sanctioning no one. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n There’s\u00a0one\u00a0<\/strong>country not on the list of sanctions: Iran. Last week, Janet Yellen said Iranian sanctions have never been relaxed, but everybody knows the facts speak otherwise. Over the past three years, Iran’s oil revenues, foreign exchange currencies, energy sales to China \u2014 all of them have sky-rocketed. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The maximum sanction campaign during the Donald Trump years that bankrupted Iran and stopped their oil production sales has been abandoned by the Bidens. That’s what the\u00a0facts\u00a0<\/strong>say. Also, does Iran not qualify as a “financial facilitator”?\u00a0Really?\u00a0<\/p>\n CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP<\/u><\/strong> \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n Former Trump senior counselor Kellyanne Conway gives her take on responding to the Israel-Hamas war on ‘Kudlow.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n I’d say Iran is\u00a0the<\/i>\u00a0financial facilitator. Add to that, “master planner” and “chief puppeteer” of Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and other terror groups that are sponsored by Iran<\/u>. If the Bidens ever got serious about maximum economic, banking, energy and business sanctions on Iran, Iranian shipments, Iranian individuals and entities, then they’d return to bankruptcy, which is where Donald Trump left them. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Then, the money financing Hamas and all the terror groups would dry up. If President Biden truly wants to totally support Israel, first he should let the IDF do what it’s going to do. Second, bankrupt Iran through serious sanction enforcement. Don’t want to make this any harder than it needs to be.\u00a0<\/p>\n This article is adapted from Larry Kudlow\u2019s opening commentary on the October 18, 2023, edition of “Kudlow.”<\/i>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [ad_1] FOX Business host Larry Kudlow provides insight on the Israel-Hamas war on ‘Kudlow.’ Janet Yellen’s Treasury Department announced today that the U.S. has issued sanctions aimed at disrupting funding for the Hamas terrorist group after its barbaric attack on Israel last Oct. 7. \u00a0\u00a0 The sanctions include 10 senior members and “financial facilitators” of …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8970,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8969"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8969"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8969\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8970"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
