World Vision statement on the agreement with the Israeli Registrar of non-profit associations

18 September 2024

We are pleased to report that in agreement with the Israeli registrar of nonprofits, we have agreed an orderly closure of our local entity, and will continue operating our programmes through our International NGO registration. The closure agreement emphasises that there is no finding of any wrongdoing, and settles any and all potential claims related to the operations of the local entity. In public statements, and directly, the Government of Israel has stated they value our work and want it to continue.

As followers of Jesus Christ, World Vision is accountable to the children and families we serve, to our donors, and most of all to God to be faithful stewards. We remain committed to improving the lives of vulnerable children in the region, and hope we will be able to advance our humanitarian work in the context of our longstanding cooperation with the relevant Israeli and Palestinian authorities.

World Vision is a global Christian relief, development and advocacy organisation dedicated to working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice. World Vision serves all people, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, or gender.
