Congresswoman Urges White House to Condemn ‘Israeli’ Closures of Palestinian NGOs

By Staff, Agencies

US congresswoman Betty McCollum slammed the Zionist entity’s “chilling attack” on Palestinian rights groups, as the Biden administration seeks answers as to why the organizations were shut down.

Once again, the ‘Israeli’ military launched a chilling attack on Defense for Children International - Palestine, a human rights organization supporting Palestinian children, McCollum said in a Tweet.

Defense for Children International is one of seven groups in the occupied West Bank that Israel shuttered on Friday, with soldiers storming the groups’ offices and confiscating items.

Besides Defense for Children International, ‘Israeli’ troops also sealed off the offices of Al Haq, one of the West Bank's most well-established NGOs, which has documented human rights violations by the Zionist regime since the 1970s.

Many of the organizations have received funding from EU countries.
