"Israel has warned it will suspend dozens of humanitarian organizations including some of the best-known from operating in the Gaza Strip in 2026.

"According to the ministry, organizations that refused to submit lists of Palestinian employees to rule out alleged links to militant groups were formally notified that their licenses would be revoked as of January 1. They have been ordered to cease all activities by March 1. Officials said the groups were given around 10 months to comply but had failed to do so.

Israel has warned it will suspend dozens of humanitarian organizations in Gaza, saying about 15% of those operating there did not meet new registration rules. The regulations require NGOs to submit lists of Palestinian employees to rule out alleged links to militant groups, with licenses set to be revoked from January 1 and activities ordered to cease by March 1. Officials say the rules aim to prevent Hamas and other armed groups from infiltrating aid organizations or diverting assistance. Named groups include MSF, CARE, Norwegian Refugee Council, the International Rescue Committee, Oxfam and Caritas. Aid organizations criticize the rules as arbitrary and warn they could severely harm civilians.
