party that the United States, the European Union and other countries designate as a terrorist organization.
This is inaccurate because the European Union’s current terrorist list does not include Kach. Official EU lists from 2025 and 2026 enumerate the listed groups, and Kach is not among them.
Full reasoning
The problem with this sentence is its present-tense claim that the European Union designates Kach as a terrorist organization.
Current official EU legal acts listing terrorist groups do not include Kach:
- Council Decision (CFSP) 2025/1577 gives the then-current EU list of "Groups and entities". It lists 22 groups, including Hamas, Hizballah Military Wing, PKK, LTTE, PIJ, PFLP, DHKP/C, Sendero Luminoso, TAK, and The Base — but not Kach.
- Council Decision (CFSP) 2026/421 then amends that list by adding the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as item 23. It does not add Kach either.
So the article's wording that Kach is designated by "the European Union" is incorrect as of the current EU terrorist list. Even if some countries designate Kach nationally, that is not the same as an EU-wide designation.
I am only correcting the EU portion here. This correction does not rely on the absence of evidence alone; it relies on the EU's own published, exhaustive lists of designated groups, where Kach does not appear.
