From UK-based Muslim charity suing Israel over West Bank ban
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA British-based Muslim charity is taking Israel’s government to court over a ban on the organization operating in the West Bank, The Times of Israel’s partner the Jewish News reports.
The website says that then-defense minister Moshe Ya’alon placed Islamic Relief Worldwide on a banned list in 2014, due to accusations that it was funneling funds to the Hamas terror group.
Islamic Relief denies the claims, the Jewish News says, adding that an independent audit found “absolutely no evidence” that the charity was transferring money to Hamas.
