According to the report, Guinness World Records decided to halt all dealings with Israel, blocking new submissions, including a request to certify an Israeli kidney-donation record, local media reported on Wednesday.
Channel 12 said that a volunteer group called “Gift of Life,” which promotes kidney donations, approached Guinness to register a milestone involving 2,000 Israeli donors who saved lives through organ donation. The organization said that the submission “was rejected for political reasons.
The report also stated that it paid fees and organized a ceremony in Jerusalem to photograph all 2,000 donors together to be included in Guinness, but it received an email from Guinness stating they are not currently processing record applications from Israel.
In addition, the group has since tried to understand the reason and whether the decision can be reversed, but has received no response, the broadcaster said. Rabbi Rachel Haber, who heads the organization, called Guinness’ refusal to recognize the accomplishment unacceptable.
