 <\/p>\n

The COVID-19 crisis has been marked by various restrictions placed on people to secure global <\/em>health<\/em>. Yet this is only one aspect of the relationship between public health and the limitations on human rights and freedoms. Recent years have seen authoritarian governments around the globe shrinking civil space \u2013 repression that has an impact on the ground. With the weakening of civil society and prevention of transparency in decision making, public trust gets eroded, making it difficult for health authorities to promote e.g., vaccination programs. Additionally, the suppression of civil society leadership through arrests, restrictions on freedom of movement and\/or expression, leads to the erasure of the communities\u2019 concerns that these leaders represent. This also includes the inability of citizens to raise concerns over policies impacting their health. <\/em><\/p>\n

The recent Israeli decision to outlaw 6 leading Palestinian human rights organizations, set in the context of an ongoing occupation, is a notable example of the connection between repressive government action and the impact of such policies on the health of the most vulnerable.<\/p>\n

We, healthcare organizations around the world, condemn this decision by the Israeli government to designate these organizations as \u201cterrorist organizations\u201d.<\/a> This decree by the Israeli Defense Minister, Benny Gantz is yet another step to politically persecute those who oppose the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza and the resultant human rights violations. It has a direct implication for the thousands of Palestinians whom these organizations assist and for the health of Palestinians in general. These organizations work to improve social and political conditions under which Palestinians live, and they therefore have a significant impact on their health \u2013 physically and mentally \u2013 and their chance of living healthy lives free of violence, poverty, and discrimination. This decree also has a silencing impact for the many other human rights defenders that seek to protect the health and other fundamental human rights of Palestinian people in the occupied Palestinian territory. We call on the Israeli government to repeal this decision and for the international community to condemn it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This latest development is one of a series of attempts by successive Israeli governments to dismantle the Palestinian political and civilian leadership and curtail human rights activities in the occupied Palestinian territory and beyond. These tactics have included legislation, raids, arrest of prominent human rights activists \u2014\u00a0 including Dr. Shatha Odeh<\/a> \u2014 and marking leading human rights organizations as illegitimate.<\/p>\n

The criminalization of those opposing authoritarian regimes as \u201cterrorists\u201d, and the expansion of the meaning of terrorism to include speaking out against this very repression is a known strategy by authoritarians worldwide. Leading European states have publicly stated that previous allegations by the Israeli government have been \u201cunsubstantiated<\/a>\u201d, while Israeli newspapers have recently exposed<\/a> that the classified documents which supposedly provided evidence to the US and others in May were baseless claims and lack proof regarding the 6 organizations.<\/p>\n

The organizations targeted: Al Haq, Addameer, Defense for Children International-Palestine, the Union of Agricultural Work Committees, the Bisan Center and the Union of Palestinian Women\u2019s Committees, all served to expose the human rights abuses that take place under the occupation and protect Palestinians impacted by it, including violations of the right to health. Their assistance to farmers, prisoners, women and children must be lauded, not condemned. Their human rights work is one of the few ways to oppose Israel\u2019s military occupation, through which it exercises power and control over every aspect of Palestinians\u2019 lives.<\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s decision to mark the employees of these organizations as terrorist operatives puts them in danger of being arrested and prosecuted, their offices raided and their financial accounts frozen – impeding their important work, shutting them down and ultimately, silencing their powerful voices.<\/p>\n

As professionals working in the global health and human rights space, it is our duty and moral imperative to stand in solidarity with these organizations and by the side of those who speak out for fundamental rights in the face of rising oppression,\u00a0including through speaking out, lobbying the Israeli authorities to reverse this decision and encouraging international donors to continue supporting these human rights organizations.<\/p>\n
