WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - Senior US Treasury official Brian Nelson will be in Saudi Arabia and Qatar next week to work on efforts to disrupt Hamas' financial network, the Treasury Department said in a press release.
"Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian Nelson will travel to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and Doha, Qatar from October 23 – 26, 2023 to further US efforts to deny Hamas and other terrorist organizations the ability to raise and move funds for their violent acts," the release said on Friday.
