Zochrot Director Rachel Beitarie stated that she had discussions with the German officials before the funding cut. Sergeiy Sandler of New Profile said: “The timing of this funding cut wa s designed to cause maximum harm to our work.”Both organisations have been receiving development aid through various German partners for nearly 20 years without raising any concerns among German authorities.
Critics of the resolution argue that it conflates criticism of Israeli government policies with antisemitism.The decision to cut off funding for Israeli and Palestinian rights organisations is seen as a sign that Berlin has aligned itself with the current Israeli government.
