Netherlands cuts funding to Palestinian group blacklisted by Israel
The decision came despite the fact that a Dutch government audit determined the Union of Agricultural Work Committees had no "organizational ties" to a Palestinian terrorist group.
The Dutch government will stop funding one of the Palestinian civil society groups recently blacklisted by Israel for its alleged ties to a Palestinian terrorist organization.
The Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC) was one of six Palestinian organizations the Israeli government formally labeled a “terrorist group” over alleged links to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a leftist militant group designated a terrorist organization by Israel, the United States and the European Union. The blacklistings drew widespread condemnation and prompted a rare rebuke from the Biden administration, which said it was seeking more information on the basis of the designations.
