Netherlands Defunds Palestinian NGO Israel Declared a Terror Organization
(Jerusalem Post) Lahav Harkov - The Netherlands stopped funding the Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC), one of six Palestinian NGOs Israel banned last year due to ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist organization. The Dutch government had donated 21.5 million euros to UAWC, but suspended funding in 2020 after two senior UAWC officials were indicted for taking part in a bombing that killed Rina Shnerb, 17, in August 2019. In a letter to the Dutch parliament released on Wednesday, two ministers wrote that an investigation found that 34 UAWC employees were active in the PFLP in 2007-2020, some holding leadership positions.
