United with Israel
Conducted together with pro-Israel organizations, the campaign showed direct ties between BDS-promoting organizations and terrorist groups or operatives.

Israel has been successful in an economic campaign it launched against BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) promoting organizations with ties to terrorism, which led to the closing down of 30 accounts over the past two years, the Ministry of Strategic Affairs revealed Monday.
The campaign, conducted together with pro-Israel organizations, exposed direct ties shared between the BDS-promoting organizations and terrorist groups or operatives. Ten of the accounts were closed in the US and 20 in European countries.
Following the release of an MSA report in February titled “Terrorists in Suits”, which revealed the ties between terror groups such as Hamas, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and organizations promoting anti-Israel boycotts, financial entities around the world have closed accounts associated with the organizations, significantly curtailing the influx of funds they receive.
Most recently, three accounts belonging to Samidoun were closed. The organization’s two representatives in Europe, Mustafa Awad and Muhammad Khatib, are both members of a terrorist group.
Awad was recently released from Israeli prison for his involvement in several terrorist organizations, including the PFLP, and for receiving training from the Iranian terrorist group Hezbollah.
Samidoun publicly responded to the closure of its accounts, accusing the Ministry of Strategic Affairs of hunting its organization and members.
The Ministry of Strategic Affairs notes that the closure of the accounts has disrupted Samidoun’s ability to carry out its activities and has significantly harmed their fundraising efforts. The organization admitted that the exposure of their connections to terrorist groups constitutes “one of its most significant threats.”
Other organizations impacted by the Israeli campaign include the BDS National Committee (BNC), the Ramallah-based leader of global boycott movements against Israel which consists of 28 Palestinian boycott groups, Al Haq, and Interpal.
‘Human Rights Activists’
Minister of Strategic Affairs Gilad Erdan stated that “for years, boycott promoters have disguised themselves as ‘human rights activists’, managing to raise tens of millions of euros from Western countries and citizens who thought they were contributing to causes supporting justice and equality.”
However, Israel exposed that the “supposed ‘human rights’ NGOs are in reality, filled with anti-Semitic operatives with deep ties to terrorist groups fixated on destroying the State of Israel,” he said.
As a result of Israel’s actions, countries and financial institutions are now distancing themselves from these organizations.
“Our efforts have drastically undermined the boycott campaign, leading to it having much less finances to operate, and barred from receiving financial services,” he concluded.

战略事务部周一透露，以色列在反对BDS（抵制，撤资，制裁）的经济运动中取得了成功，推动了与恐怖主义有关的组织，导致过去两年关闭了30个账户。
该活动与亲以色列组织共同开展，揭露了BDS促进组织与恐怖组织或特工之间的直接联系。其中10个账户在美国关闭，20个在欧洲国家关闭。
在2月份发布了一份名为“穿着西装的恐怖分子”的MSA报告之后，该报告揭示了哈马斯，人民解放巴勒斯坦人民阵线（PFLP）等恐怖组织与促进反以色列抵制的组织之间的联系。世界已经关闭了与这些组织相关的账户，大大减少了他们获得的资金流入。
最近，属于Samidoun的三个账户被关闭。该组织在欧洲的两名代表Mustafa Awad和Muhammad Khatib都是恐怖组织的成员。
Awad最近从以色列监狱获释，因为他参与了包括PFLP在内的几个恐怖组织，并接受了伊朗恐怖组织真主党的培训。
Samidoun公开回应关闭其账目，指责战略事务部狩猎其组织和成员。
战略事务部指出，关闭帐户已经破坏了Samidoun开展活动的能力，并严重损害了他们的筹款活动。该组织承认，他们与恐怖主义团体的关系暴露是“其最大的威胁之一”。
受以色列战役影响的其他组织包括BDS全国委员会（BNC），这是总部设在拉马拉的反对以色列的全球抵制运动领导人，该组织由28个巴勒斯坦抵制组织Al Haq和Interpal组成。
‘人权活动家’
战略事务部长吉拉德·埃尔丹表示，“多年来，抵制推动者一直伪装成’人权活动家’，设法从西方国家筹集数千万欧元，并认为他们正在为支持正义和平等做出贡献。”
然而，以色列暴露出“所谓的’人权’非政府组织在现实中，充满了反犹太主义特工，他们与恐怖组织有着深厚的联系，这些组织的目的是摧毁以色列国，”他说。
由于以色列的行动，各国和金融机构现在正在远离这些组织。
“我们的努力极大地破坏了抵制活动，导致其经营资金减少，并且禁止接受金融服务，”他总结道。
