Israel suspended permits for approximately 25 humanitarian organizations, including Doctors Without Borders and CARE, from operating in the Gaza Strip and West Bank, the Israeli government announced Tuesday. The decision was based on the organizations' alleged failure to comply with new registration rules mandating greater transparency regarding staff, funding, and operations.

According to Israeli officials, the new rules are aimed at preventing aid organizations from employing individuals with ties to Hamas. However, the affected groups criticized the regulations as arbitrary and potentially endangering their staff and operations. These operations include the provision of vital services such as food distribution and healthcare.

Doctors Without Borders and other organizations have yet to release a public statement.

The move comes amid ongoing tensions in the region. The suspended organizations provided critical assistance to Palestinian civilians affected by the conflict. The suspension raises concerns about the potential impact on the delivery of humanitarian aid to the region.
