Amin Abu Rashid

A senior member of the Hamas organization, operating primarily in Europe, Abu Rashad is known for his activities in establishing financial infrastructures for Hamas, exploiting charitable organizations for the purpose of funding terrorism. In June 2024, he was arrested in the Netherlands on suspicion of transferring millions of euros to Hamas in the Gaza Strip through the Israa Foundation, which he managed. According to the indictment, he transferred €6.5 million in cash intended to support Hamas activities. The Dutch court ruled that the infrastructure he operated was used to disguise terrorism financing, in violation of Dutch law. The case file against Abu Rashad, spanning over 700 pages, highlights his years-long activities of transferring funds from European countries to Gaza.
