Since the court ruling last week Israeli authorities have seized crypto from digital wallets alleged to have links to terrorist organizations in the region.
Tel Aviv's Magistrate Court has reportedly issued a ruling allowing Israel's government to seize all the crypto in more than 150 digital wallets that it hablacklisted for allegedly funding terrorist groups., Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz says the court's Dec. 15 ruling has already allowed authorities to seize a further $33,500 from digital wallets linked to the Islamist militant group Hamas.
Prior to the court ruling, Israeli authorities had only been legally allowed to seize digital assets with direct links to terrorist activity but not additional funds in the same wallets. In December 2021, authorities seized $750,000 from the wallets. The de facto ruling authority of Palestine's Gaza Strip since 2007, Hamas is classified as a terrorist organization in whole or in part by several countries and international blocs including the United States, European Union, Israel and the United Kingdom.
