High Court nixes NGOs’ petition against new security regulations on aid (Israel)
Times of Israel ^ | 5/21/2026 | Jeremy Sharon

The High Court of Justice ruled unanimously on Wednesday against a petition by an association of 19 international aid organizations against new security regulations imposed by the government, asserting that state agencies are entitled to require strict security checks to ensure foreign organizations are not connected to terror groups.

Thirty-seven organizations refused to comply with the new rules, saying doing so would endanger their employees and violate international law.

The licenses of the organizations were subsequently revoked earlier this year.

Among the 37 organizations are multiple branches of Doctors Without Borders and Oxfam, the Danish and Norwegian Refugee Councils, Caritas Internationalis, an umbrella for Catholic charities, the Quaker-founded American Friends Service Committee and the International Rescue Committee.

“The rejection of the petition sends a clear and unequivocal message — the State of Israel will not allow terrorist activity to operate under the guise of humanitarian aid,” said Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

I don't think this'd fly in the US but NGOs here should certainly be investigated if any signs of illegality occur, to include money laundering and foreign campaign contributions.

All these NGOs are left wing or tilt left wing. So it will by default coddle people/Muslims with terrorist connections.

My first take on this is that it’s a good thing.

The term NGO is a misnomer. Any organization that is funded with taxpayer money is a government organization.

It’s a devious way to get around Constitutional restrictions.

Considering the fact that many groups want to wipe Israel off the map, these security measures seem reasonable and prudent.

Most NGOs are female run. Liberal female do-gooder staff that soaks up most of the NGOs funding that can be public , private or a mix.

Above it provides paychecks and often bloated executive salaries

International law has become a globalist tool. It should be forcefully ignored when it has not been enacted by sovereign nations.
