Anger as MSF agrees to Israel's unreasonable demands': What to know

"Medical charity Doctors Without Borders says it will provide Israeli authorities with the personal details of some of its Palestinian and international staff working in Gaza and the rest of the occupied Palestinian territory, leading to a backlash. Critics warn Israel, whose army has killed more than 1,700 health workers including 15 employees of the charity, also known by its French initials MSF during the genocide in Gaza,"

"MSF said it faced an impossible choice to either provide the information or be forced by Israel to suspend its operations. On January 1, Israel withdrew the licences of 37 aid groups, including MSF, the Norwegian Refugee Council and International Rescue Committee and Oxfam, saying they failed to adhere to the new security and transparency standards. The measure could exacerbate an already dire humanitarian situation for people in war-shattered Gaza, as they endure continued attacks."

"According to rules set out by Israel's Ministry for Diaspora Affairs, the information to be handed over includes passports, CVs and names of family members, including children. It said it would reject organisations it suspected of inciting racism, denying the state of Israel's existence or the holocaust. It would also ban those it deems as supporting an armed struggle by an enemy state or a terrorist organisation against the State of Israel."

Critics warn Israel, whose army has killed over 1,700 health workers, including 15 MSF employees, could use the information to target humanitarian workers in Gaza and the occupied West Bank. MSF faced an impossible choice: provide the information or be forced to suspend operations. On January 1, Israel withdrew licences for 37 aid groups for failing to meet new security and transparency standards. The rules require passports, CVs and family members' names and bar organisations suspected of incitement, Holocaust denial or support for armed struggle.
