The French government has allocated about £7.3 million ($10 million) to a Palestinian organisation that is a leading promoter of the boycott Israel movement.
 
Promoting that boycott has been found illegal in France in several high-profile cases.
 
The French Development Agency, or AFD, which focuses on “on climate, biodiversity, peace, education, urban development, health and governance,” last year gave an 8 million Euro grant to the NGO Development Centre, or NDC, a Palestinian group that says it promotes good government practices in the West Bank. It was behind the 2008 “Palestinian NGO Code of Conduct,” a document includes a rejection of “any normalisation activities with the occupier, neither at the political-security nor the cultural or developmental levels.”
