We clarify that even though vast efforts were put into the editing work, it is possible that there may be additional sources which might have been able to affect the results of the research and which did not make it into our pos- session.

All the names of donors and grants were taken directly from the official website of the Israeli Registrar of Amutot (Non-Profit Associations), and/or the financial reports of the American organization, the “ (NIF)”, and/or the Palestinian foundation “The Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law Secretariat”, and no change was made to the information. The data from the website of the Israeli Registrar of Amutot (Non-Profit Associations) is available to the general public only from 2012 and onwards, therefore it should be taken into account that foreign government entities have been funding the Foreign Agents for many years with millions of dollars that have not been recorded in this document.

It is likely that there are Foreign Agent organizations that reported only a part of the support which they receive from foreign government entities. In addition, there a number of Foreign Agent organizations that are frequently supported by foreign governments and that have not filed the reports as required by law. Anyone who has fur- ther or additional information that does not appear in this booklet is invited to contact us on the matter and we will take steps to update this with all possible speed.

“Support of a political entity by a government is something that should have frightened any person who believes in real democracy.”

Excerpts from the Annual Report by “The Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law Secretariat”, published in 2015162:

· “Breaking the Silence (BTS) presented a unique proposal for emergency funding whereby BTS attempted to interview (collect testimonies) from Israeli soldiers who were engaged in the war. BTS were very cautious about how effective their work would be at the peak of the conflict. At first, they were not even sure they would be able to interview soldiers or even feel safe to issue testimonies. The Secretariat was ready to accept even one testimony. Over the course of this project, BTS collected 57 testimonies from soldiers who were engaged in the war, which in itself was a huge success for this project. The testimonies collected are from a wide range of units who participated in the war from the Israeli Air Force, Navy and ground- troops. Early investigation teams also succeeded in reaching Israeli soldiers and officers who were based in headquarters and command centres in different brigades, the Gaza division and other control rooms… As part of the core funding support of the Secretariat, BTS is planning to address these issues in a public advocacy campaign which will be launched locally and internationally following the release of the report… The campaign will include: Publication material in English and Hebrew; Testifiers press conference; New/ social media activities surrounding the findings of the investigation locally and internationally; Advocacy tours to Europe and the U.S. to meet with decision makers, parliament members, diplomats, Jewish public figures, media and civil society in order to disseminate the findings of the investigation.

· BTS reported that they have witnessed a small but significant shift in the opinion of liberal Jewish communities in the U.S. regarding the Israeli army’s policies in Gaza and the occupation as a whole.

· Several core partners (Adalah, Al Mezan, B’tselem, PWWSD, Yesh Din, WCLAC, WAC, Breaking the Silence) trained journalists to be able to serve the media as HR analysts and media and communication staff on good practice in campaign management and on HR/IHL in order to use the HR vocabulary correctly when describing the HR situation in the oPt [Occupied Palestinian Territories].

· 17 cases filed by HaMoked regarding house demolitions reached Israeli courts.

· Adalah filed 14 complaints with Al Mezan to Israeli authorities to demand the opening of independent criminal investigations into suspected war crimes and crimes against humanity by the military. In September, the Israeli Military Advocate General (MAG) announced that he would open investigations into two of the cases filed: 1) the targeting and killing of four children on a beach in Gaza; and 2) an attack on an UNRWA school resulting in killings of civilians in a safe haven. Adalah is continuing to follow-up other complaints.

· PCHR’s [Palestinian Center for Human Rights] legal unit succeeded in helping five prisoners to get released from Israeli jails.

· Also, 59 prisoners from the Gaza Strip received legal aid.
