For years, it has been clear that Hamas uses hospitals as military bases. @MSF and other NGOs chose to ignore this war crime, and instead lambasted Israel for anti-terror operations targeting Hamas infrastructure.

MSF’s admission that Hamas military presence in hospitals threatens their humanitarian work is ironic, and acutely overdue. 🧵>>Image

In Sept. 2025, NGO Monitor published internal Hamas documents reflecting the militarized environment in which NGOs were operating. The document notes that MSF France was operating in “the only room in Abu Yousef El-Najar Hospital that has a (safe) communication landline which belongs to the positive’s [Hamas’ military wing’s] activity”. >>Image

The Mohammed El-Halabi cover-up 🧵

While the int’l community hailed convicted terrorist Mohammed El-Halabi as an “award-winning Palestinian aid worker” and accused 🇮🇱 of fabricating charges, internal Hamas docs acknowledge that the then @WorldVision Gaza Director worked w/ the terror org.

See examples of NGO claims vs. evidence from newly disclosed Hamas internal memos >>Image While @HRW ran with claims that the trial’s secrecy “makes a mockery of due process,” Hamas’ own documents show that it was actively interfering with trial, noting, “Our monitoring and coordination with all relevant parties in the case had a role in thwarting multiple schemes to bring about the conviction of Mohammed Al-Halabi.” >>Image

The @JewishCurrents article on resignations at @HRW reveals more than an internal dispute. It’s a reminder of what happens when an NGO promotes the most extreme activists to positions of influence. 🧵 >> Image Milena Ansari, who co-led the “Israel and Palestine team,” was hired by @hrw after working for years at Addameer - sanctioned by both US and IL for its affiliation with the PFLP terrorist organization. >>

New evidence: the “spontaneous” anti-Israel protests after Oct. 7 were fueled by millions of dollars and organized at a national level. 🧵

NGO Monitor’s review of @WESPAC_NY’s IRS Form 990 shows a post-Oct. 7 funding surge used to bankroll protest networks, including terror-linked Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM). >>Image For the first time, WESPAC’s IRS filing names its fiscally sponsored projects, rather than hiding them under vague categories like “office expenses,” exposing direct financial support for NGOs engaged in antisemitic rhetoric and groups with documented terror ties. >> Image

❗Breaking: NGO Monitor researcher finds photo of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya in his Hamas uniform. 🧵
That the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital had a Hamas rank was an open secret in Arabic media, yet he was invited to write opeds for the @nytimes and was praised as a hero in an international campaign calling for his release.

@nypost reported the story >>Image NGO Monitor Senior Researcher @vincent_chebat found a photo of Abu Safyia wearing a Hamas uniform while “at a gathering of Hamas elites…including Gen. Abu Obaida Al-Jarrah, Director of Military Medical Services Saeed Saoudi and National Security Forces commander Col. Naeem Al-Ghoul.” >>Image

🚨Exclusive Hamas files tell the untold story of a KGB-style system for infiltrating and controlling the entire humanitarian aid industry in Gaza, including international NGOs. 🧵

Through designated “guarantors,” Hamas steered humanitarian projects while NGOs stayed silent about Hamas’ abuse.

The details you weren’t supposed to see >>Image A “guarantor” is a Hamas-approved NGO liaison embedded in all international NGOs in Gaza who must:
✅ Hold a senior post w/the NGO
✅ Be Hamas-affiliated or compliant
✅ Give Hamas access to info on finances & projects
✅ Be subject to surveillance & pressure
✅ Be a local Gazan

‼️Another example of how NGO activity in Gaza is compromised by Hamas:

Mental-health NGO @GCMHPMedia reported that armed men stormed its Gaza clinic, expelled guards & locked out staff at gunpoint. >> Image The NGO appealed to the “local authorities” (Hamas). The fact that nothing happened prompted many to conclude that the armed men were themselves Hamas. >> Image

🚨 British Consulate Rep in Gaza to Hamas: Terror designation will not stop UK-funded projects.
A @daily_express exclusive report: Declassified docs from NGO Monitor reveal 🇬🇧 reassured Hamas, contradicting its claimed “no contact” policy and showing ongoing cooperation. 🧵> > Image In Nov 2021 🇬🇧 designated Hamas a terror group and pledged “no contact” or cooperation. Yet - Hamas documents from 2022 record a UK official meeting with the Interior Security Mechanism (ISM) –a unit of the Hamas Ministry of Interior and National Security (MoINS). >> Image

In response to @NGOmonitor, NORWAC claims: “We are not under Hamas’ dictate.”

Yet their own employee admitted Hamas leaders exploited Gaza hospitals while NORWAC was active there.

🧵Any NGO working with Gaza’s MoH follows Hamas’ security agenda – NORWAC is no different. > Image
Image
NORWAC’s CEO dismissed our evidence of Hamas’ use of health facilities for military purposes as “fake news.”
Yet NORWAC has not even requested the underlying documents.
How can an NGO make such claims without reviewing the evidence? > Image

‼️BREAKING: Leaked docs show Hamas admits to using Gaza hospitals as terror infrastructure, in files authored by its Interior Security Mechanism and obtained by NGO Monitor. Hospitals served as command hubs while NGOs went along under Hamas rules.

Here’s what they reveal 🧵➡️ Image In the docs, hospitals are places:

“that the wounded – who hold sensitive positions in the resistance – are gathered in during times of escalation"

“of gathering for numerous leaders of the [Hamas] movement and the government during times of escalation"

Thus ➡️ Image

How did Hamas pay for Oct 7? 🧵

One way is aid diversion, which is still ongoing. Since at least 2007 when the terror group took over Gaza, it has diverted and controlled humanitarian aid – funding tunnels, weapons, and supplies used in the massacre. It works like this ⬇️ Image Diversion via MoSD:
👉Eur gov’ts (🇪🇺🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪🇨🇭🇳🇴🇪🇸) fund Gaza programs for cash aid, food vouchers, etc.
👉Money flows through UN agencies (UNICEF, WFP) & NGOs (@mercycorps, @Oxfam).
👉In Gaza, the Hamas-run Ministry of Social Development (MoSD) is a main partner in the process. >> Image

Exclusive: European governments are funding Gaza aid programs that are coordinated with a Hamas-run ministry. 🧵

NGO Monitor’s new report shows how a deliberate workaround gives Hamas control over aid from 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪🇨🇭🇳🇴🇪🇸. >

via @LahavHarkov @j_insiderImage The ministry in question is Gaza’s Ministry of Social Development (MoSD) – headed by Ghazi Hamad, a Hamas politburo member and U.S.-designated terrorist who justified the Oct 7 attacks.

UN agencies and NGOs rely on his ministry’s lists for cash and voucher recipients. > Image

🧵 Mainstream TV networks (@ABC @CNN @HBO) are amplifying unverified NGO accusations that 🇮🇱 is deliberately starving Gaza, often relying on data from Hamas-run sources. The most egregious recent example: @iamjohnoliver segment, which leans on dozens of NGOs to push this libel ➡️ Image In his recent episode, @iamjohnoliver claimed "Gaza is being starved by Israel” referencing NGOs: @MSF @amnesty @christian_aid @mercycorps @btselem @PHRIsrael @Oxfam & “100 other agencies". No mention of 🇮🇱 perspectives or Hamas’ aid diversion➡️ Image

This bizarre story exemplifies the dire need for aid oversight in Gaza 🧵

1️⃣ Yesterday, a notice on @gcmhpmedia’s website detailed an internal corruption scandal alleging “the embezzlement of millions of dollars from the Gaza Mental Health Programme” – meaning itself – “funded by international organizations” >Image 2️⃣ The funds “meant for medications and therapy sessions” were reportedly diverted into “the personal accounts of senior officials.”

GCMHP is funded by the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, and the @UN.

Today, their website is down. Image

🚨A few minutes ago, the infamous @UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese presented a report accusing 45+ global companies of contributing to “genocide” via their business ties to Israel.
While framed as a legal assessment, the report - rooted in biased NGO-claims - advances a dangerous political agenda 🧵>>Image Beyond the obvious “genocide” libel at the core of the report (“From Economy of Occupation to Economy of Genocide”) it pushes a false legal narrative: that private companies linked to the West Bank are violating international law. >>

Reportedly, Canadian police are investigating Israeli soldiers for alleged “war crimes.”

This is occurring in the context of an antisemitic campaign of intimidation, lawfare, and Hamas whitewashing underway in 🇨🇦—and NGOs are leading it.

The Maple published a “Find IDF Soldiers” list naming 163 Canadians, their synagogues, and even family workplaces. 🧵>>Image

Who’s driving this deeply unsettling campaign – supposedly based on “accountability” and respect for int’l law?

One month after Oct 7, the creator of the Maple database, Davide Mastracci, wrote:
“I would 100% prefer living beside a Hamas-supporting Gazan to an average Israeli.” Image

🚨 Bombshell segment on @N12News last night featuring NGO Monitor Legal Advisor @anneherzberg14: The 🇬🇧 government is funding a Gaza cash aid program, involving the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Social Development (MoSD).

According to 🇬🇧 officials, the primary risk wasn’t terror financing/diversion — but “reputational.”

It’s all spelled out in an official document from the British Consulate-General in Jerusalem, discovered by NGO Monitor. 🧵> NGO Monitor Legal Advisor @anneherzberg14: “The British government is actually giving millions of pounds to the UN, mostly to UNICEF, and UNICEF who are working with the Ministry of Social Development in Gaza. And that is controlled by Hamas.” > Image

🧵Our new report on how Nakba Day has become a coordinated global NGO hatefest. We’ve documented dozens of radical events organized or endorsed by NGOs across the 🇺🇸, 🇨🇦, 🇪🇺 and the 🇺🇳 that serve as platforms for incitement, glorification of terror, and demands for the erasure of Zionism and the Jewish state. >Image “I am Hamas. You’re looking Hamas in the eyes” a protester said at the May 10 Pal-Awda “Nakba 77” protest in NJ calling to “dismantle the genocidal Zionist entity.”

🚨 Our new report by @Adi_Schwartz @GeraldNGOM reveals the extent and disturbing character of @Harvard’s deeply embedded ties with anti-Israel advocacy NGOs — some linked to the PFLP. These ties are the antithesis of academic inquiry and open debate, and they fuel campus intimidation and antisemitism. 🧵Image The report focuses on 3 Harvard institutions—School of Public Health, HLS Human Rights Program, and the Carr Center—that are conduits for anti-Israel indoctrination. They routinely host NGO propagandists as researchers and “experts”, assign biased NGO reports as course materials, and organize events presenting one-sided distorted narratives.

Students and faculty report the resulting antisemitic intimidation and threats. >Image
