MKs seek to ax Amnesty International’s tax benefits — report

Coalition lawmakers have approached the head of the Knesset Finance Committee, MK Moshe Gafni, to request that he remove the human rights group Amnesty International from the list of organizations that can receive tax-deductible contributions, according to Army Radio.

The report does not say whether a specific action by Amnesty prompted the MKs’ initiative. Israeli activists have often accused the organization of anti-Israel bias.
