Members of the Politburo shall not be included or retained on the list of persons and entities in the Annex if there is sufficient information to show that they do not exercise influence over violent actions conducted by Hamas.

All funds, other financial assets and economic resources belonging to, or owned, held or controlled, directly or indirectly, by natural or legal persons, groups, entities and bodies:

All funds, other financial assets and economic resources belonging to, or owned, held or controlled, directly or indirectly, by natural persons who are members of the Politburo, as listed in the Annex, shall be frozen.

Members of the Politburo shall not be included or retained on the list of persons and entities in the Annex if there is sufficient information to show that they do not exercise influence over violent actions conducted by Hamas..

Council Decision (CFSP) 2024/385 of 19 January 2024 establishing restrictive measures against those who support, facilitate or enable violent actions by Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (OJ L, 2024/385, 19.1.2024, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec/2024/385/oj).

(1) On 19 January 2024 , the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2024/385Council Decision (CFSP) 2024/385 of 19 January 2024 establishing restrictive measures against those who support, facilitate or enable violent actions by Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (OJ L, 2024/385, 19.1.2024, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec/2024/385/oj). .

(2) In its conclusions of 26 June 2025 , the European Council called for further work on restrictive measures against Hamas.

(3) Hamas continues to represent a threat to international peace and security. Its violent actions constitute serious violations of international humanitarian law and of human rights law. The Political Bureau of Hamas (Politburo) is the main decision-making body of the group and determines its social, political, and military policies. In particular, the military wing of Hamas (Hamas-Izz al-Din al-Qassem) is subject to the general policies decided by the Politburo and has consistently pledged allegiance to the Politburo. Furthermore, members of the Politburo have knowledge of the planning, preparation and execution of violent actions by Hamas. They also promote, defend and justify such violent actions, often publicly threatening or warning of similar future conduct. Thus, the Council considers that members of the Politburo play a significant role in the decision-making process within Hamas and exert considerable influence over the actions of Hamas, including its violent actions. Therefore, they bear overall responsibility for those actions.

(4) In order to curb violent actions by Hamas, the Council considers it appropriate to provide for restrictive measures, in the form of travel restrictions on, and the freezing of all funds and economic resources belonging to, or owned, held or controlled by, members of the Politburo. However, Politburo members should not be subject to such restrictive measures if there is sufficient information to show that they do not exercise influence over violent actions carried out by Hamas.

(5) It is appropriate to amend the title of Decision (CFSP) 2024/385.

(6) It is also appropriate to add ten persons to the list of natural or legal persons, groups, entities and bodies set out in the Annex to Decision (CFSP) 2024/385.
