Overview
- UAE authorities, in a Tuesday Cabinet decision under Resolution No. 63 of 2026, listed 16 individuals and five organisations tied to Hezbollah on the Local Terrorist List.
- The order directs all regulators to find any financial or commercial links to those named and to freeze related assets in less than 24 hours.
- Officials publicly released the full roster of Lebanese nationals and Lebanon-based companies after the decision, signaling swift enforcement.
- The named entities include Lebanon-headquartered groups such as Al-Qard Al-Hassan Association and Bayt Al-Mal Al Muslimeen, along with three accounting and finance firms.
- The government said the move is part of wider efforts to cut off terrorist financing across the region, a push that has intensified with recent Gulf actions targeting Iran- and Hezbollah-linked networks.
