Overview

  • The Ministry of Diaspora said the groups failed to provide complete, verifiable information on staff, funding and operations required under a March 2025 registration regime.
  • Authorities alleged some employees at certain organizations, naming Médecins Sans Frontières, had links to Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
  • Notices state permits will be revoked on January 1, 2026, with a full cessation of activities mandated by March 1.
  • Israel says the suspensions cover roughly 15% of NGOs in Gaza and will not reduce overall aid flows, and that registration remains open, according to spokesman Oren Marmorstein.
  • In a separate development, the Knesset approved a law allowing cuts to water and electricity for UNRWA properties and state takeover of public land it uses, drawing UN condemnation.
