‼️ Hezbollah-linked Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) demands the arrest of a 🇺🇲-🇮🇱 citizen IDF veteran in LA for the #WorldCup
It’s important to understand who heads this “advocacy” org. HRF head Dyab Abou Jahjah says, “We stand behind the Palestinian resistance with all its factions… also Hamas. The PFLP too. Also Fatah.” 🔽
Jahjah also claimed he “joined the Hezbollah resistance against Israel” and received “military training.” HRF US rep Jake Romm tweeted: “Hamas is the only group meaningfully working to return the hostages.” Image

.@TheLancet is supposed to be a medical journal.
Instead, it once again gave space to a political campaign calling for a boycott of the Israeli Medical Association.

The absurdity lies not only in platforming such a cause, but in who’s behind the campaign. 🧵>> Image The campaign is led by the People’s Health Movement (PHM), together with Artsen voor Gaza and the Health Advisory Council of Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP).

PHM is led by Aziz Rhali, appointed Global Coordinator in March 2026. Image

The NGOs behind the blood libel: In his @nytimes oped, @NickKristof relied heavily on NGOs with records of anti-Israel advocacy, unverifiable allegations, and in some cases documented links to Hamas and other terrorist organizations.
Kristof’s sources >> Image Kristof relied heavily on Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor – an NGO whose leadership has documented ties to Hamas, including senior officials who were photographed with Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.

The organization has also promoted inflammatory and unsubstantiated allegations, most notably claims regarding the use of dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners. >>Image

🚨 A group with ties to 🇨🇦-designated terror groups is organizing an "Assembly of Militants" in Toronto to mark the 3rd anniversary of "Al-Aqsa Flood" (the Oct 7th massacre) – which they call “the most courageous acts of resistance in our lifetimes”.
Here's who is behind it. 🧵 Image Masar Badil regularly hosts officials from terror orgs. Recent guests have included:
• Husam Badran (Hamas)
• Ghazi Hamad (Hamas)
• Basem Naim (Hamas)
• Ammar Moussawi (Hezbollah)
• Ali Abu Shaheen (PIJ)
• Ahmed al-Shami (Houthis)

FRONT PAGE of the @nationalpost: NGO Monitor’s research on terror org’s internal documents, revealing that 🇨🇦-funded NGOs operating in Gaza were infiltrated by Hamas, which “systematically diverts aid from international NGOs” and controls NGO operations. 🧵>> Image Global Affairs Canada says that it uses “enhanced due diligence,” “ongoing oversight,” and “systematic screening” to prevent misuse of aid.
But a Hamas document concerning the Canadian-funded Ajyal program states that beneficiaries would be selected from names provided by the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Social Development.
The same document includes Hamas security screening results for NGO staff, including one employee allegedly affiliated with the PFLP terror group.>>Image

🚨 NGO Monitor’s comprehensive report on MSF’s “genocide” libel🚨
We trace how a once respected humanitarian NGO became a center of anti-Israel propaganda and a leading platform in promoting Hamas-aligned narratives - particularly the “genocide” libel. The report calls for independent investigation and major organizational changes. 🧵>>Image MSF operates in 70+ countries with a $2.4B budget. It claims neutrality based on medical ethics and states its teams “report what they see with their own eyes.” In the past decade, its reporting on 🇮🇱 and Gaza increasingly consisted of blatantly false testimony, and erased key dimensions that contradicted the biased narrative. >>Image

Exclusive by @telegraaf: Internal Hamas docs obtained by NGO Monitor raise questions about the millions of taxpayer euros allocated by the Dutch Relief Alliance (DRA) to projects in Gaza operating under Hamas control. 🧵>> Image The documents detail Hamas’ strong influence on humanitarian NGOs in Gaza via the “guarantors” system: senior, director-level NGO officials designated as liaisons to Hamas provided info and served as points of pressure inside international organizations. >> Image

Why is 🇸🇪 allowing Samidoun to expand while other gov'ts, including in Europe, are cracking down?
Last week, 🇬🇷 authorities detained Samidoun's Europe head Mohammed Khatib, citing “national security" concerns. The group is banned in the 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇮🇱 🇩🇪 for its affiliation w/ the PFLP.
🧵>>Image NGO Monitor’s new report documents how Samidoun is expanding its operations in Sweden, organizing nationwide demonstrations that promote “armed resistance”. Samidoun members have publicly praised Hamas, Hezbollah, and the PFLP, declaring these groups “our comrades” and “our heroes”. >>Image

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
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
