More than 140 organizations have supported a letter by 22 members of the US House of Representatives demanding action by the Biden administration on behalf of six prominent Palestinian human rights and civil society groups designated as “terrorist” by the Israeli authorities, according to a press release by Defense for Children International – Palestine (DCIP).

The letter, addressed to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, calls on the Biden administration to publicly reject the Israeli designation, urge the Israeli government to reverse its decision, and confirm a date for an inter-agency briefing and provide a report to Congress within 30 days.
