The announcement of the US Treasury Department and the European Union imposing sanctions against the leaders of the Hamas movement, including the spokesman for the Al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Ubaida, sparked great ridicule on social media sites, according to what was reported on the “Russia Today” website.
Activists on the “X” platform reacted to this announcement, and received it with great sarcasm. On the one hand, Abu Ubaida’s personality is still unknown, and on the other hand, the sanctions will not affect him as he is. One of them commented: “The US Treasury imposes sanctions on Abu Ubaida.
Now Abu Ubaida is living in a difficult situation. His wealth in the American treasury has been lost, and the vacations he spends in America and on the beaches of its cities have been deprived of them. His private planes have stopped moving. Poor Abu Ubaida, where does he spend his vacations?
The US Treasury imposes sanctions on… #Abu Obeida

Another added sarcastically: “Abu Ubaida is canceling his vacation in the Maldives and Thailand this summer, after the US Treasury’s decision to impose sanctions on him… Sorry, Mr. Men, he will make up for it next summer, God willing.”

It is worth noting that the US Treasury Department and the European Union announced yesterday, Friday, the imposition of sanctions against the Hamas movement, targeting the leaders of offensive cyber operations and drones in Gaza and Lebanon.
The ministry said in a statement: “The Office of Foreign Assets Control of the US Department of the Treasury is taking measures against Hamas, targeting leaders of offensive cyber operations and unmanned aerial vehicles located in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon. In conjunction with this measure, the European Union is imposing sanctions targeting Hamas as well.”
