Today, the EU Parliament passed a budgetary resolution directly referencing Jerusalem-based research institute NGO Monitor as a catalyst for tightening regulations to ensure taxpayer funds do not end up with terrorist groups.
The Parliament identified NGO Monitor’s December 2025 report, “Puppet Regime: Hamas’ Coercive Grip on Aid and NGO Operations in Gaza,” which highlights “attempts of Hamas’ infiltration and monitoring through so-called ‘guarantors’ of international NGOs, including within Union-funded humanitarian projects in the Gaza Strip,” per the EU. The resolution “urges the Commission to investigate all allegations of any type of undue infiltration and influence within Union-funded humanitarian projects and to suspend or recover Union funding where breaches are confirmed.”
The vote was a discharge resolution, a procedural vote clarifying that a fiscal year (2024’s) outlays have been verified.
Olga Deutsch, vice president of NGO Monitor: “This represents a major recognition of NGO Monitor’s research at the highest levels of European politics and our impact on discourse in the fields of terror financing and donor accountability.”
