Hamas asserted that the Israeli Supreme Court’s rejection of the petition against the so-called “Law on the Registration of International Organizations” constitutes further evidence of the Israeli judicial system’s complicity in restricting the work of humanitarian and international organizations.
In a press statement, the movement said that allowing this law to be implemented and imposed as a fait accompli would exacerbate the already dire humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, given the difficult circumstances faced by Palestinians.
Hamas warned of the repercussions of this move on the work of relief and humanitarian organizations, arguing that it would increase the suffering of the population and limit the ability of international organizations to deliver their services and humanitarian programs.
The movement emphasized that the international positions rejecting the law, embodied in a joint statement signed by more than twenty countries and international organizations, must move beyond mere political condemnation and be translated into concrete actions on the ground.
Hamas called on the international community to take action to pressure the Israeli government to halt the implementation of the law and guarantee the freedom of operation for humanitarian and relief organizations, enabling them to implement relief and recovery programs and provide aid to Palestinians without restrictions.
