Israel said on Dec. 30 it suspended more than two dozen international humanitarian organizations from operating in the Gaza Strip and parts of the West Bank, saying they failed to comply with new registration requirements.

The announcement was made by Israel’s Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, which said more than 30 organizations had not met the criteria. Those affected include major aid providers such as Doctors Without Borders, also known as Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).
