Occupied Palestine (QNN)- The Israeli occupation government declared
several leading Palestinian NGOs to be affiliated with the Popular Front
for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), according to a document released by
its Justice Ministry.

The six NGOs that will be designated as PFLP-related are Addameer, Al Haq,
Bisan Center, DCI-P, Samidoun and UAWC.

Israel’s War Minister Benny Gantz on Friday signed the declaration that
designated the six organizations linked to the PFLP.

“The organization is an arm of the terrorist organization the Popular Front
for the Liberation of Palestine,” a sentence that reads in the document
under each NGO’s logo, and included the organization’s URL, address and
phone number.

The decision was made by the Justice Ministry according to a law relating
to the fight against terror.

According to claims made by the NGO Monitor, seven senior officials within
Addameer, one of the affected NGOs, have been identified as having links to
the PFLP.

“Although the PFLP is a declared terrorist organization in the United
States, Israel, Canada, and the European Union, many European governments
have continued to invest in PFLP-linked NGOs for 20 years, severely
exploiting their taxpayers’ money,” Professor Gerald Steinberg, president
of NGO Monitor claimed on Friday on the connection between PFLP and the
NGOs.

“These recurring cases point to a widespread phenomenon and it is time for
Europeans to freeze grants and set up independent mechanisms for evaluating
funding for NGOs.”

The groups that were declared to be “terror affiliated” were presented as
social advocacy organizations but according to security officials were an
arm of a group “set on the destruction of Israel through terrorist means,”
according to claims made by Israel’s Ministry of War.
