Interpal is the working name for the British charity Palestinian Relief and Development Fund founded in 1994 which states that it is a non-political charity to alleviate problems faced by Palestinians, and focused solely on the provision of relief and development aid to the poor and needy Palestinians the world over, but primarily in the Palestinian territories, Lebanon and Jordan. The US government has made allegations that Interpal is funding or supporting terrorism, but these have not been substantiated in the British courts or by the Charity Commission. United States citizens and permanent residents are however prohibited from doing business with them via a 2003 SDN listing.〔(Designated on 08-21-03, Interpal ) US Department of the Treasury.〕 The British High Court in July 2010 found it is libellous to link Interpal and Hamas.〔http://www.theguardian.com/media/greenslade/2011/jan/13/express-newspapers-medialaw〕 ==Mission and values== Interpal was founded in the wake of the Oslo Accords. It states that its “passion for justice and the preservation of human dignity commits () to helping Palestinians in need”.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Interpal - About Us )〕 Interpal works closely with their partners in Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan, with the aim of “moving the poor and needy in its areas of operation away from the culture of dependency and encourage a culture of self-sufficiency, and to promote peace and stability within the communities to which the beneficiaries belong”. On their website, Interpal acknowledge that the volatile situation in the occupied territories means it is most effective for the organisation to transfer funds to local authorised partners and allow goods and supplies to be purchased within the area. In the past, however, this has led to accusations of Interpal funds reaching illegal and terrorist organisations.
