Hamas has a history of infiltrating nongovernmental organizations working in Gaza, according to a new report.  

Documents removed from Gaza by the Israel Defense Forces and obtained by NGO Monitor reveal “the terrorist group’s systemic control of foreign NGOs operating in Gaza.”  

The 48-page report from NGO Monitor, a research and oversight organization based in Israel, details strategies Hamas has used to hold sway over organizations conducting humanitarian work in Gaza.  

The report describes the way Hamas has monitored NGOs and even sought to manipulate them, but the “most invasive and egregious mechanism” of influence, according to NGO Monitor, is the “guarantor” system. 

Through what NGO Monitor calls the “guarantor system,” a document from 2022 reveals that Hamas required “formal liaisons between its internal security apparatus and the international NGOs.”  

“Hamas views ‘guarantors’ as potential high-value intelligence assets to gain access to the NGOs’ internal information and operations,” according to the report released Wednesday. 

A 35-page document dated Dec. 14, 2022, from the State of Palestine Ministry of Interior and National Security Interior Security names more than 40 foreign NGOs operating in Gaza and details the “guarantor” Hamas has identified in each organization. 

Since 2007, Hamas has controlled internal security in Gaza under the Ministry of Interior. Following two years of war with Israel, Hamas has been significantly weakened but not destroyed. Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire in October that is based on President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan. It remains unclear who will take over leadership of Gaza once a formal end to the war is agreed upon.

Some of the “guarantors” listed in the Ministry of the Interior document are noted to have direct ties to Hamas.  

The document, which NGO Monitor translated, begins by explaining that the list of “guarantors” have been identified as individuals who are allowed to submit requests for a foreign visitor.  

“These [guarantors] can be exploited for security purposes, in order to infiltrate foreign associations, their foreign senior staff and their movements on the field inside the Gaza Strip,” the formal document retrieved from Gaza states.  

The list of named “guarantors” is the “linking element between the association and the Ministry of Interior,” according to the document.  

NGO Monitor redacted the specific names of “guarantors” for security and privacy, but NGOs working in Gaza in 2022, in which Hamas had identified a “guarantor,” are named, along with specific notes about each individual and the level of cooperation with the “Internal Security Mechanism,” or Hamas.  

For example, Medical Aid for Palestinians—U.K. is listed as “neutral” in cooperation. Bullet points under the name of the group’s “guarantor” identify him as a director of the association and state that he is “affiliated with the Hamas movement and has allegiance [to its rule].” It is also noted that his “circle of friends is from the Hamas movement.” 

Several pages down, Islamic Relief UK is identified as “cooperating” with the Ministry of Interior. The “guarantor” for the group is identified as a director and his travel and financial habits are also described.  

Rahma Worldwide, a humanitarian organization headquartered in Michigan with operations around the globe, is listed as “cooperating.” The “guarantor” is identified as having “formerly affiliated with the Salafi movement, and is now affiliated with the Hamas movement.” His occupation, travel and financial habits, and “low” religious observance are also noted.  

Save the Children, a large charity organization operating around the world, is labeled as “not cooperating” with Hamas. The “guarantor” is recorded to have a “very limited” circle of friends and be from a “religiously observant and committed family.”  

Doctors Without Borders Spain is listed as being “neutral” in cooperation with ruling authorities in Gaza, but Doctors Without Borders Belgium and France are recorded as “not cooperating.”  

The aid group Catholic Relief Services is labeled as “not cooperating,” and the “guarantor” is noted as being “affiliated with the Popular Front [for the Liberation of Palestine],” a group the U.S. designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization in 1997.  

The Daily Signal has contacted the humanitarian organizations specifically named in this report and is awaiting responses.  

“The evidence confirms that NGOs in Gaza do not operate independently or neutrally,” according to NGO Monitor. “Rather, they are embedded in an institutionalized framework of coercion, intimidation, and surveillance that serves Hamas’ terror objectives.”

What will it take to get crime under control in our subways and public transit systems?

On Monday, news broke of another passenger set on fire in New York City’s subway—though this story wasn’t all it seemed.

The homeless man who at first said he was the victim of an attack turned tight-lipped when police pressed him about what happened.

Had he set his own clothes ablaze to attract attention?

In the wild environment our subways have become, a malicious attack or a madman’s self-inflicted injury are both all too believable.

Most trips on the New York subway or Washington, D.C.’s metro system don’t resemble a clip from “Mad Max,” but sooner or later, anyone who rides the rails of our cities regularly encounters insanity, aggression, and the prospect of violence—or actual violence, including the murderous kind.

The life-changing and very nearly life-ending attack on Bethany MaGee, the woman set aflame on a Chicago Blue Line train last month, was no hoax.

Nor was the assault that killed Iryna Zarutska on a commuter train in Charlotte, North Carolina, this summer.

Nor was the burning alive of Debrina Kawam on the New York subway last December.

None of those women had any reason to fear for her life, yet a commute turned into unspeakable terror.

And it was predictable—not because these victims had anything special to fear but because everyone knows what’s allowed to happen in the tunnels and on the trains.

If a thug with 72 arrests to his name, like the man who tried to immolate the 26-year-old MaGee in Chicago—or with “just” 14 arrests, like Iryna’s murderer—decides this is the day to take an unsuspecting victim, what chance does she have?

Her fate was already decided by judges who chose not to lock up men who were a demonstrated threat to the public.

The killers and would-be killers are only half the problem.

The other half are the judges and lawmakers who put them on the streets in the first place, leaving them free to ambush unsuspecting victims on train cars, where they can’t escape.

(MaGee did try running, but her attacker caught up and torched her.)

Legislators in North Carolina, at least, are trying to stop this murderous chain of events before it begins, by putting men with criminal records like those of Iryna’s killer in prison or mental institutions as soon as they start breaking the law.

“Iryna’s Law” restricts cashless bail, requires judges to order more mental evaluations, and makes it easier to involuntarily commit offenders found to be disturbed.

It also attempts to restore the death penalty in North Carolina, which has been blocked for nearly 20 years by legal challenges.

The law is a good start, and other states need similar reforms to incarcerate and institutionalize more of the people who commit horrors like the subway attacks of recent months.

There’s a federal role in this, too, including rigorous enforcement of immigration law:

Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, the man charged with burning Kawam to death, is an illegal immigrant who should never have been in this country to begin with.

Yet more is needed: Not only zero tolerance toward violent and repeat offenders but zero tolerance in the political process for judges who go easy on them.

Some states elect judges, and voters in those places can make known just how they feel about judges’ culpability for crimes committed by the lawbreakers they set loose.

And states have provisions for impeaching judges, just as the federal government does.

Where judges egregiously endanger the public with their leniency toward criminals, they should be impeached and removed from office.

It wouldn’t take many examples before soft-on-crime judges got the message.

Of course, judges themselves, where they aren’t elected by the public, are appointed by politicians who have to answer to voters—and those pols should feel the heat, too.

Five years ago, progressives were pushing, in all seriousness, to “defund the police” and “abolish bail,” meaning, in the latter instance, simply releasing a wider array of arrestees.

In most of the country, those slogans were not political winners, but advocates for these policies count more on elite sympathy, especially within the legal profession, than they do on ballot-box victories.

Their gamble is that most Americans pay no mind to the inner workings of state courts and legislatures, so what loses in an election can still win where laws and legal precedents are actually made.

This populist moment in national politics arises from the distrust our leaders have engendered among the public.

But leaders in states and cities have betrayed Americans’ trust, too, and their betrayal turns public transportation into scenes of public execution for innocents like Iryna Zarutska.
