This isn’t about politics. It’s about the law — applied equally, without exception.

 

On January 21, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated the Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad (PCPA) as a Specially Designated National under U.S. counterterrorism sanctions authorities. In Treasury’s own words, PCPA “operates at Hamas’s behest” and has been identified as a main organizer of flotilla activity intended to breach Israel’s security cordon around Gaza.

 

Public reporting indicates that U.S. persons participated in the subsequent flotilla in April 2026.

 
⚖️ Federal Law — Specific 

  1. SANCTIONS VIOLATIONS (IEEPA / OFAC)
    U.S. law prohibits transactions or services
    with designated entities

     


    Violations are punishable under 50 U.S.C. § 1705


    Under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and its implementing regulations:

U.S. persons are prohibited from engaging in transactions or dealings with entities designated on OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list, including the provision of:

services
transportation
logistical coordination
financial contributions or facilitation
Willful violations occur where a U.S. person:

knew or should have known of the designation, and
engaged in or facilitated a prohibited transaction
These restrictions apply extraterritorially to U.S. persons.
If any U.S. participant coordinated with, provided services to, or otherwise dealt with PCPA after its designation, that conduct may constitute a violation of federal sanctions law.

 
2. Material Support — 18 U.S.C. § 2339B
It is a federal crime to knowingly provide material support or resources to a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, including:

services
personnel (including oneself)
training or expert assistance
transportation or logistical support
The statute applies where a person knows the organization is designated or knows of its terrorist character.

Because Hamas is a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, and because OFAC has determined that PCPA operates at Hamas’s behest, any knowing provision of coordinated services or support that benefits such activity may fall within the scope of § 2339B, depending on the facts.

 
3. Conspiracy / Aiding and Abetting — 18 U.S.C. §§ 371, 2
Liability may also arise where individuals:

agree to participate in conduct that results in a sanctions violation or unlawful support, or
assist or facilitate others in carrying out such conduct
even if they are not the primary actors.

 
❗ What Must Be Determined
This Petition does not assume wrongdoing. It identifies a legally sufficient basis for investigation.

Federal authorities must determine:

Whether U.S. participants had knowledge of PCPA’s designation prior to or during their involvement
Whether any payments, services, coordination, or logistical support were provided to or through PCPA or affiliated entities
Whether any conduct was willful, or conducted with reckless disregard of U.S. sanctions law
Whether any activity directly or indirectly benefited a designated terrorist organization
 
🇺🇸 Why This Requires Investigation
The U.S. government made a formal designation and publicly identified PCPA’s role in flotilla activity before this flotilla launched.

That creates a clear legal question:

👉 Did any U.S. persons, after that designation, engage in conduct prohibited by federal law?

If no laws were violated, that conclusion should be publicly confirmed.
If violations occurred, they must be enforced.

 
🔍 Requested Action
We respectfully call on the Department of Justice, FBI, and Treasury to:

✅ Identify all U.S. persons who participated in the flotilla
✅ Investigate potential violations of 50 U.S.C. § 1705, 18 U.S.C. § 2339B, and related statutes
✅ Examine financial, logistical, and communications records relevant to the flotilla
✅ Publicly report findings consistent with national security and transparency

 
No assumptions. No politics. Just enforcement of the law.

👉 *Sign this petition to demand a federal investigation.
