The Ministry for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism announced that Oxfam, the British-founded confederation of 21 independent NGOs, will cease operations in Gaza effective February 28, 2026, pursuant to a decision by the Ministry, which oversees the registration of humanitarian organizations operating in Gaza and Judea and Samaria.
The announcement follows a February 13, 2026, interview on Channel 4 News, in which Oxfam CEO Dr. Halima Begum made a series of public statements regarding internal dynamics within the organization. In the interview, she alleged that she was pressured to use the term “genocide" in relation to Gaza without sufficient factual basis. She also accused elements within the organization’s leadership of antisemitism and of maintaining a disproportionate and irrational focus on the crisis in Gaza compared to other humanitarian crises worldwide.
Oxfam has previously faced criticism over alleged anti-Israel bias and concerns regarding its neutrality.
Minister for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Amichai Chikli stated: “The CEO’s public statements reflect the narrative and intensity of antisemitism within Oxfam. Dr. Begum herself, who is Muslim, has been a vocal critic of the State of Israel. Therefore, when she testifies about the level of antisemitism within the organization and levels these accusations herself, her remarks should resonate around the world all the more."
Director General of the Ministry, Avi Cohen-Scali, added: “This is yet another example of the hypocrisy and antisemitism within international organizations that cloak themselves in a humanitarian mantle."

Doctors Without Borders have also pulled out of Gaza, saying that it was true that terrorists were using the hospitals as armories and hideouts.

Where’s Greta and the outrage?
great news!
kick all the enemies and terrorist enablers OUT (or otherwise remove them in more permanent ways)
after the Fakestinian slaugher of over 1200 innocent people October 23, there is NO excuse for ANY Israeli government to abide these foreign meddlers any longer
they’re dangerous
She got bored and decided to play global warming again. They even arrested her in Venice! Yay! Once more into the breach.
“Diaspora Ministry” sounds like something from Orwell. It might refer to a true faith-based entity, but it could also refer to something that, intentionally or unintentionally, forces demographic or political changes. The word “diaspora” usually refers to groups that are forced to migrate, but sometimes we see them used by forces with dubious ambitions (WEF).
It’s very simple. The ministry serves the Jews living in the diaspora, acts as liaison between them and the State of Israel, encourages aliya, buy Israeli Bonds, etc.
Yes, there is an official Iraelli “Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism” but other nations and NGOs can have similar names. Don’t be surprised if open borders NGOs use the word “diaspora.” Fortunately, the Trump administration is trying to make the US border more like Israel’s.
I hope he’s not trying for barrages of missiles from Canada and Mexico, and attack tunnels constantly popping up!
I should say that he would like the US border policies to be more like Israel’s :) But in fact the 4th Amendment here probably bight makes it difficult to control tunneling completely.
Make those walls on pilings going down to bedrock, maybe.
