The targeted organizations are among the most respected Palestinian human rights organizations, organizations that many of us rely on for information and with which we have long-established relationships. All of these organizations work closely with the United Nations.
This is a dangerous escalation of Israelβs ongoing attacks on civil society and human rights defenders. An attack on these organizations is an attack on those most dedicated to realizing a just and lasting peace and if this action is allowed to stand, it will make peace harder to realize.
As Churches and church-based organizations, we unequivocally reject this move and call on you to both demand its immediate reversal and to insist on protection for Palestinian civil society and human rights defenders.
