JERUSALEM -- Israel announced on Sunday it would bar the humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders from operating in the Gaza Strip after the group refused to hand over a list of its Palestinian staff.
In a statement, the Israeli Ministry of Diaspora Affairs said it was "moving to terminate the activities" of the aid group in Gaza, citing its "failure" to submit lists of local employees, which Israel has demanded from international organizations operating in Gaza and the West Bank under regulations that came into force in early January.
