Israel bans 37 "aid" groups operating in Gaza

Israel said 37 aid organisations will be banned from operating in Gaza from Thursday unless they comply with guidelines requiring detailed information on Palestinian staff.

Israel’s deadline for NGOs to provide the details expired at midnight on Wednesday.

“They refuse to provide lists of their Palestinian employees because they know, just as we know, that some of them are involved in terrorism or linked to Hamas,” spokesman for the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, Gilad Zwick told AFP, naming 37 NGOs that had so far failed to meet the new requirements.

“I highly doubt that what they haven’t done for 10 months, they will suddenly do in less than 12 hours,” Zwick said. “We certainly won’t accept any cooperation that is just for show, simply to get an extension.”

The ministry had said in a statement on Wednesday that the move was part of Israel’s decision to “strengthen and update” regulations governing the activities of international NGOs in the Palestinian territory.

The new regulation aims to prevent bodies Israel accuses of supporting terrorism from operating in the Palestinian territories.

Israel specified that “acts of de-legitimising Israel” or denial of events surrounding Hamas’ October 7 attack would be “grounds for license withdrawal”.

Israel has singled out international medical charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF), which had two employees who were members of Palestinian militant groups Islamic Jihad and Hamas.

Apart from MSF, some of the 37 NGOs to be hit with the ban are the Norwegian Refugee Council, World Vision International, CARE and Oxfam.

COGAT, the Israeli defence ministry body responsible for Palestinian civilian affairs, said last week that on average 4,200 aid trucks enter Gaza weekly, which corresponds to around 600 daily.

Israel says MSF failed to comply with requirements

MSF did not cooperate with a government-required registration process and declined to provide Israel’s Ministry of Diaspora Affairs with a list of its

employees. 

Medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières expects to be barred from operating in Gaza once it misses the deadline to comply with new registration rules for relief agencies that are meant to prevent Hamas from exploiting international aid.

Individuals affiliated with MSF have links to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Doctors Without Borders advanced anti-Israel narrative, maintained terror ties

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) advanced an extreme anti-Israeli narrative under the guise of humanitarian activity.

Employees of some of the international organizations operating in Gaza were directly involved in terrorist activity.

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) maintained active ties to designated terrorist organizations: in June 2024, a Palestinian Islamic Jihad operative was identified as an MSF employee, and in September 2024, another MSF employee was identified as a Hamas sniper.

MSF branches are operating "under the pretext of humanitarian activity," while "in practice advancing an extreme anti-Israeli narrative, maintaining affiliations with terrorist entities, promoting boycotts, etc.

An MSF employee in Gaza, Fadi Al-Wadiya, was revealed to be a senior operative of Islamic Jihad and an expert in rocket systems.

Another staff member, Mahmoud Abunejeila, has publicly expressed support for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).

MSF France has an "explicit agenda promoting political boycotts and arms embargo against Israel." MSF France's calls for an end to military support to Israel, as well as public support for BDS events. MSF France has also repeatedly accused Israel of "genocide" and "ethnic cleansing" as well as intentional starvation of the people in Gaza.

MSF Belgium has accused Israel of crimes against humanity, and presents the Jewish state as "systematically oppressive, colonial and discriminatory."
