The British government has opened investigations into donors in the United Kingdom who transferred funds to several Chareidi yeshivos operating in Yehuda and Shomron, according to a report by i24 News.

Several British donors who supported institutions located beyond the Green Line have already been notified that investigations have been opened against them. The move comes amid Britain’s recognition of a Palestinian state and its prohibition on assistance to settlements.

The Association of Yeshivos and Seminaries for Foreign Students urgently appealed Wednesday to Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, Education Minister Yoav Kisch, and Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli, calling on them to intervene immediately.

The association warned that an expansion of the investigations could seriously damage fundraising efforts and the financing of yeshivos.
