‘Critic to Israel’: Document reveals how Israel scrutinised global NGOs

An internal Israeli government file has shed light on how authorities monitored international non-governmental organisations they believed may have backed the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, according to Al Jazeera.

The document, obtained by Al Jazeera, indicates that Israeli officials gathered information on a range of groups viewed as critics of Israel. The file appears to show a broad scrutiny of global NGOs under suspicion of supporting BDS, a campaign that has long drawn strong opposition from the Israeli government.

While the feed summary does not provide the full contents of the document, it suggests the file was part of an internal effort to identify and assess organisations seen as hostile or politically opposed to Israel’s policies. The disclosure adds to ongoing debate over how states track advocacy groups that campaign on contentious international issues.

The report is based on a monitored public feed and is attributed to Al Jazeera Latest. No additional verified details were included in the feed summary about when the document was created, which agencies handled it, or which specific organisations were named.
