Denmark Won't Fund Groups that Promote BDS, Question Israel's Legitimacy, Foreign Minister Says
(JTA) Cnaan Liphshiz - Denmark won't fund organizations that have ties to terrorists, engage in attempts to boycott Israel or question its right to exist, Foreign Minister Anders Samuelsen announced earlier this month following a foreign ministry audit of politicization and abuse of Danish aid funds. Olga Deutsch, director of the Europe Desk at NGO Monitor, called the Danish move "groundbreaking among European governments." "Switzerland and Norway addressed similar issues earlier this year, and we hope that Denmark's guidelines will serve as an example for other European countries."
