🚨REPORT | Defense for Children International – Palestine, one of the longest-standing organizations documenting abuses against Palestinian children, announced Tuesday it has ceased operations after 35 years — citing Israel’s systematic criminalization of Palestinian human rights work.
“We are not able to overcome operational challenges resulting from Israel’s targeted criminalization of Palestinian human rights organizations,” the group said in a statement.
DCIP was the primary reporting agency to the UN Security Council on the treatment of Palestinian children in Israeli military detention, documenting solitary confinement, coerced confessions, and torture. It provided free legal representation to children prosecuted in Israeli military courts and independently verified killings, injuries, and abuse carried out by Israeli forces and settlers.
The closure follows years of escalating Israeli pressure. In 2021, Israel designated DCIP a “terrorist” organization. In August 2022, Israeli forces raided its headquarters, welded the doors shut, and declared the group illegal.
The shutdown comes as conditions for Palestinian children have reached historic lows. As of December 31, 2025, 351 Palestinian children were held in Israeli prisons — with 51% under administrative detention, the highest proportion ever recorded. In March 2025, 17-year-old Walid Ahmad died in Megiddo prison, the first documented death of a Palestinian child in Israeli custody.
DCIP’s closure marks the latest chapter in a years-long Israeli campaign to dismantle Palestinian civil society — a campaign that has also targeted Al-Haq, Addameer, and four other groups designated alongside DCIP in 2021, all of which have faced raids, asset freezes, and international funding cuts as a result.
