Josh Paul: ‘Israel declared charity who raised alarm over rape in Israeli prison a terrorist entity’

Former US State Department official, Josh Paul, said Israel declared a charity a terrorist entity after it raised allegations about the rape of a 13-year-old boy in an Israeli prison. Paul made the comments while speaking with Christiane Amanpour on CNN on Monday.

According to Paul, the charity’s allegations were believed to be credible by the State Department, who then passed them on to the Israeli government. Israel then responded by raiding the charity’s offices, taking their computers and labelling them a terrorist entity.

The former State Department official resigned in October over moral objections to the US deciding to transfer arms to Israel during its assault on Gaza.
