Israel's new law taxing foreign donations to Israeli NGOs is welcome
- On May 14, 2025, Israel's Knesset is considering a bill to tax donations from foreign political entities to Israeli NGOs.
- The bill responds to concerns that foreign governments manipulate Israeli policy through financial influence over NGOs, especially after October 7, 2023.
- From 2012 through 2024, over NIS 2.4 billion was donated to 485 organizations, including groups perceived as harmful by some policymakers, which intensifies lawmakers’ resolve.
- The proposed tax could reach as high as 80% and includes provisions barring heavily foreign-funded NGOs from High Court petitions, aiming to counteract foreign interference.
- If enacted, the law would seek to reduce foreign influence on Israeli society and politics by diminishing NGOs’ funding and protecting national interests.
