Knesset’s winter session to focus on nationalism
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will advance in the coming months a controversial NGO Transparency law, the Greater Jerusalem law and other nationalistic bills.
It was hard to miss Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's giddiness Oct. 15 at a meeting of coalition party leaders. He was explaining to them why he is promoting the creation of a parliamentary commission of inquiry to investigate the involvement of foreign governments in funding Israeli nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and other organizations that he claims are harmful to Israel Defense Forces (IDF) troops.
Netanyahu told the meeting that just as the US Congress is investigating Russian involvement in the 2016 US presidential elections, Israel should investigate whether other countries are involved in its internal politics.
