"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lauded the bill's passing into law, saying that it would "prevent an absurd situation in which foreign countries meddle in the internal affairs of Israel by funding NGOs and without the Israeli public's knowledge.
"Contrary to claims on the left, the bill's approval will increase transparency, will encourage the creation of a debate which truly reflects public opinion in Israel and will strengthen democracy."
You'd think this law would be more common. And it's only causing "outrage" because antisemites likely want to continue to covertly fund NGO's. But now if the citizens know that certain organizations are receiving international funding from often hostile states they won't support such orgs or vote for politicains who back those orgs.
This is a logical step for a democracy that is not bought by rich private interests.
