The organization's refusal to provide a list of its local and foreign employees. The government ordered 37 organisations to provide information about their employees, alleging that some MSF employees had ties to armed groups—a claim that MSF strongly disputes.

MSF declared on Friday that it could not obtain guarantees to ensure the safety of its Palestinian and foreign workers, so it would not disclose the list. The charity claimed that despite its efforts to communicate with Israeli authorities, it was unable to obtain explicit guarantees that the data would be utilised solely for administrative purposes.

Israel responded by announcing that it was taking steps to end MSF's operations in Gaza, claiming that all humanitarian organisations working in the area must submit staff lists. This action comes after 37 international non-governmental organisations' licenses were revoked in December for failing to comply with new registration requirements, which Israel claimed were necessary to stop terrorist operatives from infiltrating.

MSF claimed that the prohibition is a "pretext to obstruct humanitarian assistance" and cautioned that there would be serious consequences if organisations were forced to decide between putting employees in danger or halting vital medical care. In a situation where numerous medical personnel have been killed during the conflict, the charity currently supplies a sizable amount of medical services in Gaza, including hospital beds, health centers, and basic care
