Israeli partners

Laniado Hospital, Kiryat Sanz, Netanya.[2]

Activity beyond the Green Line and support for the IDF

Findings are graded by confidence. "Partner" findings concern the Israeli recipient organisation, not proven use of UK funds.

Evidence of activity beyond the 1949 armistice line
Finding Confidence
Netanya, stated in the accounts, lies inside the 1949 line.[2] Low

Support for the IDF: The accounts say the hospital treats "both civilians and soldiers" and describe a new sheltered underground emergency room (expanding from 900 to 4,000 square metres over three underground floors), with an emergency appeal after the Hamas attacks; no funding of the military itself is stated.[2]

Controversies and regulatory action

  • No Charity Commission inquiry, Official Warning or Gazette insolvency notice naming this charity was found, and its register entry shows no regulatory alert;[16] it is not among the charities named in the Commission's cheque-cashing class-inquiry announcements (May, September and December 2025) or in the September 2026 statement of results.[17][18][19][20] The charities in the Commission's settlements class inquiry (opened August 2026) have not been named, so it is not known whether this charity is among them.[21]
  • Former director's overseas company. Former director Robert Marc Suss (2007–2011)[6] also holds an appointment with Kratos Investments (Jersey) Limited (FC034353), an overseas company registered in the UK (see Companies House officers above).
  • Name match. Former director Leopold Noe (2007–2011)[6] shares a surname and initial with Leo Noe, a trustee of The Kemach Foundation (1164563);[1] whether they are the same person is not established.
