Aid groups petition Israel’s top court to halt Gaza, West Bank ban
- Israel about to block 37 NGOs from operating in Gaza, West Bank, and east Jerusalem
- MSF, Oxfam and others warn of 'catastrophic' consequences for Palestinian civilians if ban goes ahead
JERUSALEM: More than a dozen international humanitarian organizations have petitioned Israel’s Supreme Court to block an imminent order that would force 37 NGOs to cease operations in Gaza, the West Bank and east Jerusalem, warning of “catastrophic” consequences for civilians.
NGOs including Doctors Without Borders (MSF), Oxfam, the Norwegian Refugee Council and CARE, were notified on December 30, 2025 that their Israeli registrations had expired and that they had 60 days to renew them by providing lists of their Palestinian staff.
The petition, filed by 17 organizations, including some of the NGOs hit by the ban, seeks from Israel’s top court an urgent interim injunction to suspend the closures pending full judicial review.
