Palestinian group calls on UK to revoke Jewish National Fund's charity status

The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) has called on the UK’s Attorney General’s Office to revoke the charity status for the Jewish National Fund (JNF).

ICJP said that the Jewish National Fund is financially supporting Israel’s military and Israel’s construction of settlements in the occupied  West Bank that are considered illegal under international law.

“For too long, the JNF has been allowed to fund illegal Israeli settlements and the Israeli military, throughout a genocide. Not only have they been allowed to continue operating for over a century, but they actually receive tax exemptions from the British government,” ICJP legal advisor Dania Abul Haj said.
