PRESSURE mounted today to strip the Jewish National Fund UK (JNF) of its charitable status over its role in funding illegal Israeli settlements and the Israeli military.

Legal advocacy group the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) filed a formal complaint today demanding the Charity Commission investigates the British arm of the JNF, which was originally set up in 1901 to buy land in Palestine.

JNF UK’s financial statements from 2007-2023 reveal that it transferred over £3,333,000 to “beneficiary organisations” in Israel.
