TunisiaHamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad: Council extends restrictive measures by one year
The Council today decided to extend by one year, until 20 January 2026, the existing restrictive measures against those who support, facilitate or enable violent actions by Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). All individuals and entities previously identified as responsible for participating in the financing of Hamas and PIJ, or enabling their violent actions will remain listed. A total of 12 individuals and three entities are sanctioned under this framework of restrictive measures. Those listed under the sanctions regime are subject to an asset freeze. The provision of funds or economic resources, directly or indirectly, to them is also prohibited. Additionally, a travel ban to the EU applies to the natural persons listed.
The EU reiterates its commitment to international law and to a comprehensive, just and lasting peace based on the Two-State solution in accordance with relevant UN Security Council Resolutions where two democratic states, Israel and Palestine, live side-by-side in peace within secure and recognised borders. The European Union will continue to work with international partners towards reviving a political process to this end.
