Function: Hamas money changer and financial facilitator for cryptocurrencies
Zuheir Shamlakh is a financial facilitator and money changer who enables financial transfers from Iran to Hamas. He uses his companies Al-Markaziya li-Siarafa and Arab China Trading Company to channel funds to the Izz al-Din al Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas. Zuheir Shamlakh was instrumental in Hamas’ shift towards cryptocurrencies to avoid being detected by Israeli authorities. Zuheir Shamlakh therefore participates in the financing of Hamas.
