The German government has cut off funding for two Israeli human rights organisations, “Zochrot” and “New Profile,” which have criticised Israel’s policies and attacks in the Gaza Strip, according to Anadolu.
According to Germany’s public international broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW), this move is part of a broader trend of halting federal funding for human rights organisations that criticise Israeli policies and ongoing attacks in Gaza.
Representatives from Zochrot and New Profile argue that the decision is politically motivated and an attempt to silence critical voices during a time when civil society space in Israel is shrinking.
