Israel has formally designated four non-governmental organizations as backers of terrorism, accusing them of channeling funds to the Palestinian resistance group Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).

The named organizations are Paz con Dignidad (Peace with Dignity), a Madrid-based group with over 20 years in Palestine; Rumbo a Gaza (Heading to Gaza), part of the International Freedom Flotilla Coalition; Al Quds of Solidarity with the Peoples of the Arab World, based in Málaga; and Human Appeal España, the Spanish branch of a British Islamic NGO.

These groups have rejected the move as an attempt to criminalize solidarity with Palestine and to cast suspicion on humanitarian actors, insisting that the allegations are unsupported by verifiable evidence.

The document cites only resolutions from Israeli military courts, whose procedural guarantees for Palestinians have been repeatedly questioned by human rights organizations. No documented transfers to armed structures are provided, and the NGOs state that the claims “lack verifiable evidence and are presented without documentary, judicial, administrative, or financial evidence to support them.”

The Zionist report specifically accuses Human Appeal España due to its British parent organization being banned in Israel in 2008 for ties to the Union of Good, which Israel describes as a Hamas conduit. Paz con Dignidad is accused of a €759,510 transfer to Al Auda, which the document calls “Hamas’s health branch.” Al Quds is linked to the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR), whose director was convicted by an Israeli court. Rumbo a Gaza is connected to Hamas via Unadikum and its founder Manu Pineda, former member of the European Parliament.

Pineda called the designation an attempt to criminalize and demobilize. The accusations stem solely from the Israeli ministerial report, not from a Spanish court ruling, police investigation, or any open proceeding in Spain.
