Netanyahu wants blanket ban on foreign funding for NGOs
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to upend a bill that calls for oversight on foreign funding to NGOs and replace it with one that would ban any funding.
Netanyahu told the meeting of coalition heads that he now wants “a blanket ban” on foreign payments to nongovernmental organizations, Hebrew media reports.
The ban is seen as an attempt to crack down on left-wing groups that are critical of Israel and the IDF.
