State Department spokesman Ned Price stressed last night (Tuesday) that Washington [unlike Tel Aviv] rejects the inclusion of six Palestinian NGOs on its list of terrorist organizations.
According to the Arab 21 news website, Price said during a press conference in response to a reporter's question:
The United States does not include any of the non-governmental organizations that Israel has listed as a terrorist organization.
He further clarified his words:
We explained to the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority that independent civil society organizations in the Western Hemisphere and inside Israel must continue their important activities.
A State Department spokesman added:
Washington appreciates the work of independent NGOs in Gaza, the West Bank, Israel and elsewhere; Because these institutions are watching for violations and human rights violations.
Recently, in response to warnings and complaints from international courts such as Amnesty International, the interim Zionist regime unilaterally named six Palestinian NGOs as terrorist organizations.
Following the announcement of the US position, the "Organization for Democracy in the Arab World" noted:
The occupying regime has not provided any reasons for its action and support for its position; That is why no country in the world supports this decision.
