Following the Ministry of Defense announcement: US will ask Israel to clarify why it has declared the six Palestinian bodies as terrorist organizations | Israel Today

The United States will seek clarification from Israel regarding an order declaring six Palestinian entities associated with the "Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine" as terrorist organizations.

A U.S. State Department statement said Washington had not received prior notification from Jerusalem.

Earlier today, the Ministry of Defense issued an announcement on the order, which was issued following joint activities of the GSS and the National Headquarters for the Economic War on Terror.

Defense Minister Bnei Gantz signed the order in question yesterday.

The ministry said in a statement that the names of the organizations were: the Women's Committee, the Alchemir Legal Institute, the Bissan Research Institute, the Alhak organization, the World Movement for Child Protection - Palestine Branch (DCI-P) and the Agricultural Activities Committee (UAWC) ).

It was also stated that these organizations are part of a network of organizations that operate under cover in the international arena on behalf of the Popular Front, in order to support its activities and advance its goals.

"Security organizations will continue to act and intensify the damage to terrorism and the terrorist infrastructure everywhere, and by all means," Ganz said today.

"I call on the countries and organizations of the world to help in this fight, and to avoid contact with companies and organizations that supply the incendiary materials to terrorism."
