OFFICIAL STATEMENT 048

Palestinian civil society organisations

July 12, 2022

On 22 October 2021, Israel designated six Palestinian civil society organisations as terrorist groups. The accusations of terrorism or ties with terrorist groups must always be treated with the utmost rigour. Accordingly, these designations were subjected to an extensive and careful evaluation. No substantive information was received from Israel to justify revising our policy towards the six Palestinian NGOs based on the Israeli decision to designate them as “terrorist groups”. Should any evidence be provided to the contrary, we will act accordingly.


In the absence of such evidence, we will continue our cooperation with and strong support for civil society in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. A free and strong civil society is essential for promoting democratic values and the two-State solution.
