Humanitarian groups call on Israel to end ‘weaponisation of aid’ in Gaza

More than 100 organizations signed a joint letter that called on “Gaza” Gaza “aid armament” as hunger deepened.

If Israel thinks that a group rejects Israel’s democratic character or “encourages delegation campaigns” against the country, the recording can be rejected.

“Unfortunately, many charities serve as an enemy and sometimes a cover for severe activity,” Israeli Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli said to Agency France-Presse news agency. He said.

“Organizations that do not have a connection with enemy or severe activity and have no ties with a boycott movement will be allowed to operate.”

Oxfam policy leader Bushra Khalidi said he rejected more than 2.5 million dollars (£ 1.8 million) than Israel’s entry into Gaza.
