Israel plans to ban 37 aid organizations from operating in Gaza starting January 1, 2026, if they do not comply with new guidelines requiring detailed information on Palestinian staff. The Ministry of Diaspora Affairs stated this aims to prevent groups linked to terrorism or Hamas from operating. Critics, including the UN and EU, argue these rules will significantly impact aid delivery, particularly food and medical supplies, to the devastated territory. NGOs express doubt they can meet the deadline, citing concerns about the implications of providing such employee lists.
