Haaretz newspaper reported that the leader of the Israeli occupation’s army in the West Bank did not sign a military order against the six Palestinian human rights institutes, which were categorized by Benny Gantz as terrorists. 

It also reported that the reason is back to the international pressures to cancel this decision. Thus, the United Nations warned of undermining the work of the Palestinian civil society associations.

It also quoted an Israeli security source that the goal of Gantz’s decision of categorizing the institutes as terrorists is to harden their way of receiving European funds.
