Israel Bans Humanitarian NGOs Amid New Year Bombings in Gaza

Israel announced the enforcement of a ban on 37 international aid organizations after the groups failed to meet a registration deadline to provide lists of their Palestinian employees.Organizations including MSF, Oxfam, and World Vision must cease all operations by March 1 following claims by Amichai Chikli that the measures are necessary to prevent terrorist infiltration.The UN described the decision as a dangerous precedent that will aggravate the humanitarian crisis while Donald Trump hosted Benjamin Netanyahu at a meeting in Florida.
