The U.S. Department of Commerce has revoked the export privileges of Issam Hamade for 10 years, until April 27, 2030, due to his conviction for conspiracy to export parts and technology to Lebanon without the necessary licenses. This conviction was connected to the illegal export of technology potentially used in unmanned aerial vehicles for Hizballah. Under this order, Hamade and anyone acting on his behalf are prohibited from engaging in transactions involving items subject to export regulations. Hamade is also given the right to appeal the decision within 45 days.

The State Department has reviewed the status of several organizations designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, including al-Qa'ida in the Indian Subcontinent, Boko Haram, Hizballah, ISIS-West Africa, and Jemaah Islamiyah. After looking at various records and consulting with the Attorney General and Secretary of the Treasury, it was determined that the circumstances have not changed enough to remove these groups from the list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations. As a result, the designations for these groups will remain in place to protect national security. Hillary Batjer Johnson from the Bureau of Counterterrorism made this determination public.
