More than a dozen international humanitarian organisations have petitioned Israel's Supreme Court to block an imminent order that would force 37 NGOs to cease operations in Gaza, the West Bank and east Jerusalem, warning of "catastrophic" consequences for civilians.
NGOs including Doctors Without Borders (MSF), Oxfam, the Norwegian Refugee Council and CARE, were notified on December 30, 2025 that their Israeli registrations had expired and that they had 60 days to renew them by providing lists of their Palestinian staff.
The petition, filed by 17 organisations, including some of the NGOs hit by the ban, seeks from Israel's top court an urgent interim injunction to suspend the closures pending full judicial review.

British police arrested Peter Mandelson, former UK ambassador to the US, in a misconduct probe stemming from his ties to disgraced US financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, days after former Prince Andrew was taken into police custody in a separate case. The arrests followed revelations linked to the release of more than 3 million pages of Epstein-related documents by the US Justice Department.
London’s Metropolitan Police said “officers have arrested a 72-year-old man on suspicion of misconduct in public office” at an address in north London on February 23, and took him to a police station for questioning. The man was not formally named, in line with British police practice, but Mandelson was filmed being led from his London home to a car by two plainclothes officers.
Police are investigating claims that Mandelson passed sensitive government information to Epstein around 15 years ago. He does not face allegations of sexual misconduct. His arrest came four days after Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, was detained in a separate case on suspicion of a similar offence related to his friendship with Epstein. Andrew was released after 11 hours in custody while the investigation continues.
Under UK law, police can hold a suspect without charge for up to 24 hours, extendable to a maximum of 96 hours. Mandelson could be charged, released unconditionally, or released while investigations continue.

Israeli prison authorities are preventing Palestinian detainees from observing Ramadan at the correct times, according to the Palestinian Commission of Detainees’ Affairs.
In a statement on February 21, the commission said officials at Ofer Prison in Palestine’s occupied West Bank have declined to alert detainees of the dawn and sunset prayer times, denying them the ability to begin and break their fast accordingly.
At Gilboa Prison, detainees were reportedly not informed of the start of Ramadan, the holiest month for Muslims.
More than 9,300 Palestinians, including 350 children, are currently held in Israeli prisons, where they face torture, starvation, and medical neglect that has lead to dozens of deaths, according to Palestinian and Israeli human rights organisations.
