NGO bill a ‘black day for civil liberties,’ Herzog says
“It is a black day for civil liberties, associations, and Israeli thought. The government decision to approve the twisted NGO bill is a bullet between the eyes for Israel’s standing in the world,” opposition leader Isaac Herzog says of the controversial bill that would require non-governmental organizations to declare their foreign funding.
“Our enemies are giving a big thank you to the Israeli government, which has put us on the same level with the darkest countries in the world,” Herzog says.
