"Immoral act":
After Defense Minister Bnei Gantz signed an order declaring six "Popular Front" organizations in Judea and Samaria as terrorist organizations, MKs from the coalition's left-wing parties came out against him in their comments.
According to MK Naama Lazimi (Labor), "unless there is intelligence information for which Palestinian human rights organizations have been declared terrorist organizations, this is a serious and incomprehensible move on the part of Israel, a strong sovereign state that should not shy away from human rights organizations.
Most of all, it is an immoral act that violates free rights. "Lazimi said that she would submit a query to Gantz on the subject. Lazimi was supported by MK Musi Raz (Meretz), who shared the tweet she published.
Unless there is intelligence for which Palestinian human rights organizations have been declared terrorist organizations, this move is serious and certainly not understood by a strong sovereign state that should not shy away from human rights organizations, but rather the opposite.
But most of all this act - immoral and trampling rights.
At the beginning of the week, I will issue a query to the Minister of Defense on the subject.

MK Gabi Lasky (Meretz) also responded to the order: "Human rights organizations are not terrorist organizations.
The defense minister must cancel the declaration! "

Former MK Zehava Gal-On (Meretz) tweeted: "Israeli human rights organizations are in solidarity with Palestinian organizations that the Defense Minister has declared terrorist organizations.
Jews have always been at the forefront of human rights struggles everywhere, in the face of any oppressive regime.
And in Israel, this tremendous legacy is being thrown away, as if we had learned nothing from the time when regimes could make their subjects as they saw fit. "

Gantz himself referred to the announcement with the announcement of the signing of the order, saying that "security organizations will continue to act and intensify the damage to terrorism and the terrorist infrastructure everywhere and by all means. I call on world nations and organizations to assist in this fight
Following the Defense Department's announcement, the US State Department said last night that Washington had not received an early warning from Jerusalem on the matter.
