The U.S. has charged Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and five other senior Hamas members for their roles in the 7 October 2023 attack in Israel, which killed dozens of U.S. citizens. Charges include murder, conspiracy to finance terrorism, and the use of weapons of mass destruction. U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland stated that the group led a decades-long campaign of violence, targeting American citizens and seeking Israel's destruction. The charges also coincide with the recent discovery of several hostages' bodies, including Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin, whose murder the U.S. is investigating as terrorism.
