The Australian Government imposed sanctions on Monday targeting Hezbollah’s Secretary-General Naim Qassem.
Naim Qassem is part of a group of entities sanctioned by Australia in its “the fight against terrorist financing and ongoing work to combat anti-Semitism and ensure the safety of Australians,” reads a statement published by the Australian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on its website.
“Hezbollah, which has been responsible for the deaths of countless civilians in Lebanon, Israel, and across the Middle East, remains a focal point of Australia’s counter-terrorism strategy,” adds the statement.
In addition to the measures against Qassem, one individual and four entities have been re-listed under counter-terrorism financing sanctions.
A consolidated list of these sanctions is available on the Department of Foreign Affairs website, ensuring transparency and providing detailed information on the actions taken.
