The US Department of Justice has unsealed terrorism charges against top Hamas officials, marking a turning point in the effort to bring the terrorist group to justice. The charges detail Hamas' historic role in terror and its involvement in the murders and kidnappings of innocent civilians, including American citizens. The US is putting Hamas on notice and targeting every aspect of its operations. Public trials and criminal indictments create a public record of crimes, making it harder for the criminals to escape justice. The US indictment of Hamas leaders sends a message that this is not resistance but murder, and it is an important step in holding Hamas accountable for its actions.
