UK Charity Watchdog Probes £28M Donations to Illegal Israeli Settlements
The Charity Commission for England and Wales has launched an official investigation into whether British charities funneled at least £28 million to Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territories, which are considered illegal under international law. The probe follows a complaint by Labour MP Melanie Ward, who flagged 32 charities. This marks a major step toward transparency and accountability in charitable giving.
