NGO Monitor is an arm of the Israeli Institute of Contemporary Affairs which reports on the activities of non-governmental organizations operating in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. Its president is former Israeli Ambassador to the UN Dore Gold, also a former advisor to various Israeli prime ministers.
NGO Monitor describes its aim as "end[ing] the practice used by certain self-declared 'humanitarian NGOs' of exploiting the label 'universal human rights values' to promote politically and ideologically motivated anti-Israel agendas."
NGO Monitor has criticised several international human rights organisations, including Christian Aid for its alleged "extensive involvement in anti-Israel propaganda campaigns" [1] and Human Rights Watch whose reports it found to be "systematically and exceedingly biased" [2]. It has also accused the Ford Foundation for funding NGOs, such as the Palestinian human rights organization Al Mezan Center, allegedly involved in "blatantly political anti-Israel activities". [3]
