The Israeli government had ordered 37 organisations to submit documents about their local and international workers in Gaza, claiming some in MSF had links to armed groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad. The charity has vehemently denied this.

MSF announced on Friday that it would not share a list of its Palestinian and international staff with Israeli authorities as it had not secured "assurances to ensure the safety of our staff".
...
The Israeli Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism said the decision followed "MSF's failure to submit lists of local employees, a requirement applicable to all humanitarian organisations operating in the region".
...
MSF says it currently provides at least 20% of hospital beds in Gaza and operates around 20 health centres. Last year, it carried out more than 800,000 medical consultations and more than 10,000 infant deliveries, while providing drinking water.

2. Would have been nice if it identified who MSF was...

Médecins Sans Frontières; aka, Doctors Without Borders.

4. It's world famous. Apart from in the USA, where they are incapable of both using the original language

for the name, and even the three letter abbreviation from that language.

5. Why would you release a staff list to the Israeli terrorists called the IDF so they can be executed!

Plus, many of the people working for them--doctors, nurses, medical assistants--are volunteers who work for a few weeks and go back to their regular jobs. There is no reason for Israel to do this other than another way to allow Palestinians to die.
