According to Israeli authorities, the aid groups did not provide complete personal details of their staff, among other unspecified deficiencies. The move has drawn strong criticism from foreign ministers representing 10 countries, including the United Kingdom, who described the new regulations as "restrictive" and "unacceptable."

A joint statement issued by the foreign ministers of the UK, France, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Japan, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland, warned that the forced closure of INGO operations would "have a severe impact on access to essential services including healthcare." The ministers further emphasized the "catastrophic" humanitarian situation in Gaza and urged the Israeli government to ensure INGOs can operate "in a sustained and predictable way."

Among the organizations facing suspension are well-known international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) such as ActionAid, the International Rescue Committee, and the Norwegian Refugee Council. These groups provide critical assistance to vulnerable populations in Gaza and the West Bank, including food, medical care, and shelter.

The new registration rules, the specific details of which have not been fully disclosed, are the basis for Israel's decision. The Israeli government has not yet responded to the joint statement from the foreign ministers or provided further clarification on the alleged deficiencies of the aid groups. The revocation of licenses raises concerns about the potential impact on humanitarian aid delivery in the region, particularly in Gaza, where access to essential services is already limited. The situation remains fluid, and diplomatic efforts are underway to address the concerns raised by the international community.
