>> [Cowdenbeath and Kirkcaldy Labour MP] Melanie Ward has said she has submitted a formal complaint to the Charity Commission after she came across evidence that illegal Israeli settlements have been receiving donations from the UK.
>> … also claimed that if gift aid were claimed against the donations in the usual way, £5.6m worth of taxpayers' money could have gone towards the settlements.
>> Ward said she found “at least” 32 charities that have sent £28m to settlements in recent years while she was working with Israeli human researchers.
