Biden White House ‘Concerned’ as Israel Shuts Down Offices of Terror-Linked Palestinian NGOs
2022-08-20
[LI] Seven NGO offices shut down by the Israeli security services were linked the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist group.

The United Nations and the European Union are enraged, while the Biden White House has expressed "concern" after Israel shut down offices of several Palestinian NGOs linked to the terrorist organization Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).

Biden State Department Spokesman Ned "Price told reporters in Washington that the U.S. was ’concerned’ about the raids and closures, adding that civil society is an ’integral element to thriving democracies,'" PBS reported.

On Thursday, Israeli security forces raided and closed down the West Bank offices of seven NGOs that had previously been designated as terrorist entities because of their affiliation to the PFLP, a terrorist group banned by the U.S., the European Union, and other Western countries.

"During an arrest operation in the West Bank, Israeli security forces, including the IDF, Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) and Border Police closed down seven institutions that had ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), Including six that Defense Minister Benny Gantz previously declared as terrorist organizations," The Jerusalem Post reported.
The Jerusalem Post adds:
The ministries each issued documents classifying Addameer, Al-Haq, Bisan Center, Defense for Children International – Palestine (DCI-P), the Union of Palestinian Women’s Committees (UPWC) and the Union Of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC) as branches of the PFLP, joining other NGOs that had also been designated as terrorist affiliates.
