Odaily Planet Daily News Binance co-founder He Yi said on social media that "Binance assisted the Israeli police in freezing Hamas-related cryptocurrency accounts": "First of all, Hamas is currently a terrorist organization defined by the United Nations. Any International organizations, including any banks and trading platforms, need to cooperate when receiving inquiries and freezing. This is not a decision made by Binance itself.
I have no political affiliation. But no trading platform can refuse this law enforcement request; Palestine has a ruling government, and Hamas is a group of local armed forces that torture and kill civilians; this is the problem, and Hamas is not equal to Palestine. This freeze is aimed at Hamas, not Palestine.
For reference, before the war between Russia and Ukraine, Russian accounts were not frozen. Why do you think your account will be frozen? What did you do? "
Earlier today, news broke that Israeli police had frozen cryptocurrency accounts related to the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas, according to a report by local Israeli media Calcalist. It is reported that the cyber law enforcement team of Lahav 433, a branch of the Israeli police, worked with the country’s Ministry of Defense, intelligence agencies, and cryptocurrency exchange Binance to locate relevant accounts, and the seized funds will flow into the Israeli treasury.
