(NGO Monitor) On October 22, 2021, the Israeli Ministry of Defense designated six Palestinian NGOs as terrorist organizations because they are operated by and for the benefit of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S., EU, Canada, and Israel. A seventh organization had been designated in January 2020. These NGOs diverted humanitarian funds from European donors to the PFLP and recruited members into the terror group. These NGOs provide a funding lifeline for the PFLP, employ PFLP terrorists, and allow PFLP terror operatives to use the NGO offices for meetings. On August 17, IDF forces raided at least seven PFLP-linked institutions and shut them down. NGO Monitor has published numerous reports, based on open sources, documenting the close connections between these and other Palestinian NGOs and the PFLP.
