Amid a military campaign in Gaza, Israel escalates its crackdown on both international and domestic humanitarian organizations focused on aiding Palestinians. New visa and registration rules target foreign aid groups, while legislation limits funding for local NGOs documenting human rights abuses. This comes after a two-month blockade on Gaza. A letter from 50 organizations, including Oxfam and Doctors Without Borders, denounced these developments as grave threats to humanitarian efforts. The regulations demand detailed staff information, allowing disqualification for any pro-boycott stance or accusations against Israel.
The recent crackdown on humanitarian organizations in Israel, particularly those aiding Palestinians, marks a significant escalation in the government's restrictions against international assistance.
