US Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro and Israeli Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked met on Sunday to discuss contentious draft legislation to toughen rules on Israeli rights groups which receive the majority of their funds from abroad.

Shapiro sought to receive more information regarding the controversial bill after US officials last week expressed concerns about the dangers it could pose to a “free and functioning civil society.”

Israeli Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked is one of the most beautiful women in politics in the world.

She is very smart and may become an Israeli PM.

Obama relentlessly tries to destroy America — and the church — and the Jews. Doesn’t miss an opportunity even down to the building of a single house in or near the Israelis own capital Jerusalem for a Jewish family. (He will boil in Hell for all the vicious damage yes inflicted on USA and Israel too) He would be wise to forget about taking over the UN and instead atone for his sins and try to repair the damage he’s caused — ASAP. We are all mortal and we all will face judgment soon _

Obama’s interference in Israel’s internal affairs is out of place.

I would have actually gone further and banned foreign funding for anti-Israel Israeli NGOs.

As it stands, the proposed law does not curb their freedom of speech. It simply requires them to disclose who is paying for their activities inside Israel.

Transparency in funding disclosure and freedom of speech do not clash.
