ISTANBUL — The US Treasury's top terrorism financing official said Thursday that he discussed with Turkish government officials his "profound concern" about Hamas raising funds domestically and potentially breaking local law.
Turkey was "prominent" in Hamas fundraising schemes and the group was likely to take advantage of that as it seeks more funding amid the war with Israel, Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian Nelson said in Istanbul.
Unlike most of its Western allies and some Gulf states, Turkey does not view Hamas as a terrorist group and hosts some of its members.
