The Netherlands has ended its donations to the Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC), following an external investigation into the Ramallah-based Palestinian NGO’s links with a terrorist organization, UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLI) reported on Wednesday.
The investigation followed UKLI questions and subsequent information submitted to the Dutch government and members of parliament as to why they were donating funds to the UAWC, given the group’s close ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
The investigation found that 34 employees of UAWC had individual ties with the PFLP, 12 of whom held overlapping positions in both, the Dutch daily De Telegraaf reported, adding that there are also links between the two organizations “at an organizational level.”
