The UK’s charity regulator has issued an official warning to a British charity which raises funds to support Israeli soldiers over a "distressing" video posted on its website.
The Charity Commission said the London-based UK Friends of the Association for the Wellbeing of Israel's Soldiers (UK-AWIS) had “breached their legal duties” after publishing a video appealing for donations to support Israeli forces involved in the war against Hamas.
“All of the trustees have failed to act in the charity’s best interests and manage its resources responsibly by exposing the charity’s reputation to unnecessary risk,” the commission said.
“This is a breach of trust or duty, or misconduct and/or mismanagement in the administration of the charity.”
The video, which has since been removed from UK-AWIS’s website, Facebook and YouTube pages, appeared to show a person being killed as part of a montage of footage featuring air strikes and combat scenes, similar to promotional content produced by the Israeli military.
