Israel Designates „Samidoun“ As A Terrorist Organization – ​As part of campaign against the PFLP, Minister of Defense Gantz signed an order designating the Samidoun organization, which acts on the PFLP’s behalf abroad, as a terrorist organization | NBCTF

February 28, 2021 – The Samidoun organization was designated as a terrorist organization as it is part of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and was founded by members of the PFLP in 2012. Representatives of the organization are active in many countries in Europe and North America, led by Khaled Barakat, who is part of the leadership of PFLP abroad. Barkat is involved with establishing militant cells and motivating terrorist activity in Judea & Samaria and abroad. The formal goal of Samidoun is to assist Palestinian prisoners in their struggle to be released from prison. However, in practice, it serves as a front for the PFLP abroad.
