Overview
- The Ministry of Security placed the Lebanese, Egyptian and Jordanian branches on the RePET registry, triggering asset freezes, transaction limits, and migration and banking alerts.
- The decision was coordinated with the Foreign Ministry, Justice Ministry and state intelligence after reports citing terrorism, incitement to violent extremism and links to other organizations.
- Resolution 32/2026 was published in the Official Gazette, putting the measure into force and characterizing the chapters as a serious threat to national security.
- The action followed a U.S. designation a day earlier, and U.S. officials later publicly welcomed Argentina’s move.
- Officials say the step strengthens cooperation with partners including Israel, Paraguay, the UAE and Egypt and aligns with prior Argentine listings such as Hamas.
