The Minister of the Interior, Ayelet Shaked, said in response to the Defense Minister's declaration of Palestinian "human rights" organizations as terrorist organizations:
"This is an important action by the Minister of Defense, Benny Gantz, following solid intelligence information from the Shin Bet and the General Staff.
For many years now, these organizations have been disguised as "human rights" organizations, but in practice give support to the terrorist operation PFLP and fuel the BDS people. Many countries have contributed to these organizations and it is good that they put an end to it."
