UK Launches Investigation Into Donors Supporting West Bank Haredi Yeshivas
The British government has initiated an investigation targeting British citizens who donated funds to Haredi yeshivas operating beyond the Green Line in the West Bank. This move follows the UK's new policy, enacted after its recognition of a Palestinian state, which prohibits support for activities in Israeli settlements. Several donors have already received formal notices regarding the investigations.
In response, the Association of Yeshivas and Seminaries for Overseas Students urgently appealed to Israeli ministers Gideon Sa'ar, Yoav Kisch, and Amichai Shikli, requesting government intervention to prevent harm to the yeshivas' funding sources. The association warned that these investigations could severely impact the fundraising efforts and financial stability of the yeshivas.
The development represents another economic challenge for the yeshivas, highlighting the broader implications of international policies on funding for religious institutions in contested areas.
