The Ministry of Strategic Affairs releases a report it says details over 100 cases of ties between Palestinian terror organizations and groups that promote the boycotts, divestment and sanctions movement against Israel.
The report, titled “Terrorists in Suits,” accuses Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine of placing a number of their operatives in pro-BDS NGOs, including some who have been imprisoned on murder charges. The ministry says the NGOs mentioned in the report have received financial support from European countries.
“Terrorist groups and the anti-Israel boycott campaign have united in their goal of wiping Israel off the map. Terrorist groups view boycotts as a complementary tactic to terror attacks,” Strategic Affairs Minister Gilad Erdan says at a press conference.
“I urge all governments and financial institutions to investigate the activities of these BDS organizations, and immediately end all funding and support that they provide to them,” he adds.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
