Israel Orders Doctors Without Borders to Cease Gaza Operations

Israel has instructed the international medical charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF) to end all its activities in the Gaza Strip. The order enforces two recent Israeli policies. The first restricts organizations from criticizing Israel’s conduct in the war. The second requires groups to provide personal details about their Palestinian employees in Gaza. MSF is known for providing critical emergency medical care in conflict zones. The group has been operating in Gaza throughout the current war. Israeli authorities did not immediately comment on the specific reasons for the order against MSF. The new policies have raised concerns among several aid organizations working in the territory. The directive forces the closure of MSF's remaining medical projects in Gaza. The group says it will continue to seek permission to deliver lifesaving aid.
