The Israeli army security forces raided the offices of these seven NGOs in the town of Ramallah in the central-occupied west bank, annexing all the equipment and resources. Doors were welded shut, with an order posted on them declaring the organizations as “unlawful”.
The closures mean that it is illegal for employees to enter the office.
Israeli authorities accuse the NGOs of aiding the militant groups on Thursday.
The United Nations was diligent in condemning this designation. The tag was ratified for three of them on Wednesday. “As such, the closures appear totally arbitrary.”
These NGOs are: the Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC), Addameer Prisoner Support, and Human
The Rights Association, Al-Haq rights group, the Union of Palestinian Women Committees (UPWC), the Bisan,
The Center for Research and Development, the Palestine chapter of the Geneva-based Defense for Children International, and the seventh organization raided were the Union of Health Work Committees (UHWC).

Citing the lack of evidence, nine European countries will continue to work with these groups.
Mazen Rantisi, head of the board of directors at the UHWC, which runs several hospitals and clinics across the occupied West Bank, said this move was a part of longstanding Israeli policy.
