Opposition leader again blasts NGO bill

For the second time today, opposition leader Isaac Herzog blasts the new non-governmental organizations law — approved earlier by the Ministerial Committee for Legislation, which would require NGOs to declare all sources of foreign funding — in a Facebook post.

“The NGO bill, approved today by the Netanyahu government, is worse than the EU’s labeling law, because this labels people,” Herzog writes on his official page.

The law has only one purpose, the opposition leader says: “to increase the hatred, polarization and division among the nation of Israel.”
