\r\n\tA recent study by the Israeli Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Countering Antisemitism showed that an extensive network of fundraising campaigns in Europe has raised over US$9.5 million for Gaza since October 7, 2023.<\/strong><\/p>

These campaigns, involving approximately 45 organizations, are publicly presented as humanitarian and charitable initiatives.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nAccording to the research, each of the identified organizations raised at least US$100,000.<\/p>

\r\nSeven online campaigns surpassed the US$1 million mark each, and another four collected between US$500,000 and US$1 million.<\/p>

\r\nIn total, 23 of these initiatives were linked to Hamas and other terrorist organizations.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nThe survey analyzed activity in several European countries.<\/p>

\r\nIn the United Kingdom, crowdfunding platforms alone raised over \u00c2\u00a311 million.<\/p>

\r\nIn France, the amount raised reached approximately “1.4 million, while in Spain and the Netherlands, hundreds of thousands of euros were collected.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nResearchers identified an integrated fundraising infrastructure that utilizes crowdfunding platforms, organizational websites, bank transfers, payment applications, and even cryptocurrencies.<\/p>

\r\nAccording to the report, there is little difference between the tools used by entities considered legitimate and those linked to Hamas, revealing serious flaws in control and oversight mechanisms.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nAnother problem highlighted is the lack of transparency.<\/p>

\r\nAlthough donation campaigns and payment methods are visible to the public, there is almost no information about where the money actually goes, what the intermediary entities are, or who the final recipients are in Gaza.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nMinister Amichai Chikli commented on the case: “This is a security risk that cannot be ignored.<\/p>

\r\nEuropean countries, wake up! Funds that appear humanitarian may end up reaching groups associated with Hamas.<\/p>

\r\nCrowdfunding platforms need to act firmly, and European governments must stop the flow of money without adequate supervision.”\r\n<\/p>

\r\nThe director-general of the ministry, Avi Cohen-Scali, added: “The phenomenon is much larger than it seems.<\/p>

\r\nIn the visible part alone, dozens of campaigns, dozens of entities, and more than $9.5 million have already been identified.<\/p>

\r\nWhen money circulates through public channels with partial transparency and reaches groups linked to terrorism, this becomes a security, political, and economic challenge that demands a serious and coordinated response.”\r\n<\/p>

\r\nThe study focused only on public fundraising and did not include large private donations or hidden channels.<\/p>

\r\nIsraeli authorities remind that Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad are considered terrorist organizations by both the European Union and the United Kingdom, which makes it illegal to conduct open campaigns in their name.<\/p>

\r\nTherefore, the money is often disguised as humanitarian aid.<\/p>

\r\nResearchers believe that the real amount raised is much greater than identified.
