From Bill to ban national service at left-wing NGOs passes preliminary vote
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA bill that would ban national service volunteers from working with organizations that receive most of their funding from foreign governments, namely left-wing human rights groups, is approved in its preliminary reading in the Knesset.
The bill was proposed by Likud lawmaker Amir Ohana and comes after the B’Tselem organization raised the ire of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others by criticizing Israeli settlement policy at the United Nations Security Council in October.
Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely writes on Twitter that she is “very proud” to support the legislation.
