Israel’s top court allows aid groups facing Gaza ban to continue working
AI Summary
Israel's Supreme Court has temporarily blocked a government ban on 37 international aid organizations operating in Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem. The ruling, issued on Friday, allows the NGOs to continue most activities while the court considers a petition against the ban filed by 17 aid agencies. The Israeli government had planned to implement the ban on March 1, citing the aid groups' failure to comply with new rules requiring them to renew registrations and provide personal details of Palestinian staff. Aid organizations, including Doctors Without Borders and Oxfam, argue that complying with the rules would endanger their Palestinian staff, violate humanitarian principles, and breach European data protection laws. While the court's injunction is welcomed, aid groups emphasize that broader restrictions continue to hinder aid delivery in Gaza.
