On May 15, Elizabeth Richard, the Coordinator for Counterterrorism, took part in a meeting in The Hague focused on countering Hamas. This meeting was a follow-up to the December 13, 2023 engagement held in Paris with partner governments. The objective of these meetings is to coordinate international efforts aimed at dismantling Hamas' financial networks and targeting their online propaganda.
Richard discussed U.S. strategies against Hamas with the participating governments and sought further collaboration to apply pressure on Hamas' financial hubs and restrict their travel capabilities. In addition, she continued her engagement with tech companies to encourage voluntary collaboration in limiting Hamas' use of online platforms, including social media, for terrorist purposes.
