  • Formed in 1998, the Palestinian Environmental NGOs Network (PENGON) describes itself as "a coordinating body between the different Palestinian NGOs working in the field of environment. It aims to serve Palestinian environmental issues by coordinating endeavors between the member organizations, and enhancing relations with other organizations domestically and abroad, such as local government agencies and international environmental organizations." Most members are not linked to environmental issues.
  • "Members include overtly politicized Palestinian NGOs analyzed by NGO Monitor, such as the Union of Palestinian Medical Relief Committees and Law, whose virulently anti-Israel activities were highlighted in a US Congressional investigation into the Ford Foundation's funding of Palestinian NGOs."
  • Funding from constituent members and unknown other sources.
  • Actively promotes the myths and distortions of events that took place in Jenin in April 2002, including appeal from the Palestine Emergency Committee for action against 'massacres'; continues to promote these false accusations on its website.
  • Website shows PENGON's primary political agenda, including claims that Palestinian environmental problems "due to violent Israeli occupation practices on the ground."
