On Oct. 22, 2021, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz announced that Jerusalem was designating six Palestinian nongovernmental organizations as terrorist organizations.

Gantz’s announcement was decried by Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a liberal Democrat, and the usual anti-Israel voices in Congress. It has even been questioned by some Biden administration officials, most notably at the State Department. But the evidence suggests that the designations are justified.
