Bin Haque, which represents two Palestinian charities who were part of an NGO that received funding from the Israeli government, had to drop their project when Hamas cut off all funding.

Bin Haque said she has also withdrawn all of the grants she received at Palestinian NGOs since last April in protest against Israel’s crackdown, including its seizure of land, settlement building, and Israel’s plan to build three new settlements on territory it claims as part of its historic borders with Gaza.

The $10-billion Aida Prison Complex project was one of two proposed projects that were ultimately dropped.

Bin Haque said that on May 14, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) raided and destroyed the offices and homes in the homes of the two Palestinian NGOs that had received funding from the government.

Earlier in the year, she filed a complaint with the Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights (OHCHR) for Israel, questioning Israel’s actions against charities in occupied Palestine.

She said that on May 15, the Israeli army raided her home and arrested her brother and her daughter. On their last day at the house, she was told they had been seized from it by the IDF and left without paying for their return of a home they shared in Gaza. After more than seven hours in police custody, they were released.

“This is something that is something no human rights organisation is allowed to do when in their area,” said Bin Haque.

Bin Haque said her NGO had been working for more than two years in Ramallah to improve the lives of Palestinians in need of aid, such as in the West Bank.

But it appears to have come to an end after the Israeli occupation authorities forced her organization to abandon fundraising in Ramallah, and instead focused on fundraising in another city.

“Fundraising in Ramallah was important because, of course, one of the causes of poverty is that there is not enough
