Over the past 20 years, Shurat HaDin has brought tens of lawsuits against Iran on behalf of victims of terror in Israel and will now do so on behalf of Hamas victims of October 7. In addition, the LWR is investigating legal action against North Korea, whose weapons are being used by Hamas, and against Qatari entities, another major supporter of Hamas. In the last decade, Qatar has been the main financière of Hamas, transferring hundreds of millions into Gaza. It is also perceived as the only state that has the power to compel Hamas to release Israeli hostages. Per Israeli officials' requests, it is on the LWR agenda to prioritize lawsuits against Qatari organizations involved in funding Hamas, such as the Qatari oil shipping company. Legal efforts on behalf of the October 7 victims also include demanding the extradition of Hamas leaders for prosecution in the United States and seeking the designation of Hamas as a terror organization in countries that have citizens who were murdered or kidnapped by Hamas and who have not yet made this designation
