The Council decided to extend by one year, until 20 January 2027, the existing restrictive measures against those who support, facilitate or enable violent actions by Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ).

Those designated are subject to an asset freeze and EU citizens and companies are prohibited from making funds available to them. Individuals are additionally subject to a travel ban, which prevents them from entering or transiting through EU member states.

As a result of the annual review, the Council also decided to remove a deceased individual from the list. Therefore, a total of 11 individuals and three entities are currently sanctioned under this framework of restrictive measures.
