In late October, the Israeli government declared six Palestinian human rights groups to be âterror organizationsâ â a designation that criminalizes their work under Israeli law and enables Israel to seize assets, arrest staff, prohibit funding, and punish public expressions of support and solidarity. With this terror designation, the Israeli government has escalated its longtime efforts to crush Palestinian organizations that document Israelâs ongoing violations of Palestinian human rights and seek to hold Israel accountable. Leading human & civil rights experts â Jamil Dakwar (ACLU), Rabea Eghbariah (Adalah), and Dima Khalidi (Palestine Legal) discuss the work of the targeted Palestinian NGOs, the context and impact of this terror designation, reactions from governments and NGOs in the U.S. and the EU, and expectations of impact. The discussion begins with the first question asked by moderator, Lara Friedman, President of the Foundation for Middle East Peace who sponsored this forum.
