Israel imposes conditions that prevent aid from entering Gaza.

Yesterday, Tuesday, Haaretz revealed a new Israeli measure that forced dozens of humanitarian organizations operating in the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank to halt their activities.

The newspaper stated that dozens of organizations that had previously received Israeli approval are now being forced to stop their work due to a strict measure, which leaves thousands of tons of food and relief supplies outside Gaza.

It clarified that the measure tightens the conditions for organizations to enter Gaza and the West Bank, requiring them to provide details about their employees and their families, whether they are Palestinians or foreigners.

The new measure was reinstated last March, after the registration of humanitarian organizations was transferred from the Ministry of Welfare to the Ministry of Diaspora, headed by Amichai Shikli (from the Likud party), according to the newspaper.

The role of the Ministry of Diaspora now gives it broad authority to reject organizations' requests.

The newspaper indicated that the ministry has the right to reject an organization if it is found to deny the existence of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state or works to delegitimize Israel, according to its description.

There is an additional reason for rejecting a humanitarian organization's permit, which is its support for "prosecuting Israelis in a foreign country or before an international court," referring to their commission of crimes during the genocide in Gaza.

An organization can also be rejected if one of its employees publicly called for a boycott of Israel during the seven years prior to the registration request, according to the newspaper.

Since the beginning of last September, the Israeli Ministry of Diaspora has announced its rejection of 14 requests out of 100 submitted by organizations, while the remaining requests are still under review.

Some of the organizations that were approved had been working with what was called the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, an organization established by Israel and the United States last May, which ceased operations last October.

The newspaper stated that without official registration, humanitarian organizations are not allowed to bring food or any aid into Gaza, and their employees cannot obtain entry visas to Israel, which are required to work inside Israel or the occupied West Bank.

The absence of permits also makes it difficult for these organizations to enter or exit Gaza, and they are prohibited from purchasing or transporting equipment through Israel.

Among the organizations that have been waiting for months for an official response are some of the largest institutions in the world, such as Oxfam, Save the Children, and the Norwegian Refugee Council, according to Haaretz.

It added that the organizations doubt their ability to pass the Israeli registration process, as many of them refused to provide lists of their Palestinian and foreign workers' names.

These organizations say that transferring information may violate privacy laws and other laws in their home countries, according to the newspaper.

The newspaper clarified that in recent weeks, Israel has made it more difficult for organizations to bring food and equipment into Gaza through alternative routes.

It also revealed that organizations that did not obtain a permit to bring goods into Gaza resorted to United Nations agencies or other organizations with permits, asking them to bring in the purchased goods, but Israel also prevented this step.

As a result, a large number of equipment and supplies have been stuck in Israel, Jordan, Egypt, and the West Bank, such as beds, tents, plastic coverings, water desalination equipment, insulation materials, winter clothing, personal hygiene supplies, and large quantities of food.

Haaretz quoted the policy director at Oxfam in the Palestinian territories, Bushra Khalidi, stating that this measure is part of a broader Israeli policy that represents collective punishment, making Gaza an unlivable place.

Since the ceasefire agreement came into effect on October 10, according to U.S. President Donald Trump's plan, Israel continues to violate it either by carrying out attacks or preventing the entry of humanitarian aid in the agreed quantities.

According to government statistics, the average number of trucks that have entered since the start of the agreement does not exceed 89 trucks daily out of 600 trucks that are supposed to enter each day to secure the minimum basic needs of the Palestinians.
