This directive mostly targets foreign media journalists, was issued without authority, undermines essential rights, and is illegal, the Association for Civil Rights in Israel argued.

The Iron Wall operation began in January and targeted refugee camps and small towns in the northern West Bank, emptying them.

Israel Hofsheet also demanded the particular provision of transport options to the around 150,000 Israelis stuck abroad after Israeli airspace was closed at the start of Operation Rising Lion.

The opposition to the GHF stems from humanitarian organizations’ reliance on Hamas operatives in Gaza. These organizations are beholden to Hamas because their operations depend on Hamas.

“I took Zionism and Judaism for granted. I never imagined that I could be targeted," says the executive director of TalkIsrael, "Looking back I truly believe everything happened for a reason.”

The bill, initiated by Likud MK Ariel Kallner, would impose an 80% tax on donations received from foreign political entities.

Wood also hinted at threats from Israel towards GHF's independence and humanitarian aid activities, Ynet reported.

The GHF said that though using private security firms represents a change from prior aid delivery frameworks, it would ensure aid is not diverted to Hamas or criminal organizations.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation says it "strictly adheres" to humanitarian principles, and that it would not support any form of forced relocation of civilians.

One of the current provisions of the bill would be to preclude the ability of Israeli NGOs that receive a majority of their funding from foreign governments to petition the Israeli High Court.
