UAE designates 16 individuals, five entities on its Local Terrorist List over Lebanon's Hezbollah links

The United Arab Emirates has designated 21 individuals and entities on its Local Terrorist List over alleged links to Lebanon’s Hezbollah.

The designation was issued under Cabinet Resolution No. (63) of 2026, through which the UAE Cabinet approved the inclusion of 16 individuals and five entities on the list of individuals and organisations supporting terrorism (Local Terrorist List), in accordance with UAE laws and regulations.

The move forms part of the UAE’s ongoing efforts, both domestically and internationally, to disrupt and dismantle networks linked to the financing of terrorism and related activities, whether directly or indirectly.

Compliance and asset-freezing measures

Under the resolution, all regulatory authorities are required to identify any individuals or entities connected through financial or commercial relationships with those listed, and to take necessary measures in line with applicable UAE laws, including freezing assets within 24 hours.

The decision reflects the UAE’s firm and longstanding commitment to combating terrorism and extremism in all forms, and to preventing the financing of terrorist groups and organisations, as part of broader efforts to enhance security and stability and address threats to regional and international peace.

The UAE continues to intensify its counterterrorism efforts through a comprehensive approach combining security and ideological measures, while monitoring suspicious financial channels and disrupting sources of illicit funding aimed at curbing the spread of such threats and preventing cross-border terrorist financing.
