Foreign Government Funding for Israeli NGOs
(Jerusalem Post) Sam Sokol - Israeli organizations receive financing for "political advocacy...from a number of foreign governments," according to a report issued on Monday by the NGO Monitor watchdog group. 2012 is the first year in which they were required to report such donations. NGO Monitor president Prof. Gerald Steinberg said, "the amount of foreign funding going to NGOs involved in polarizing activity in the context of the Arab-Israeli conflict" was "alarming." Norway was the biggest donor to Israeli NGOs, with NIS 4,598,507.
