In this episode of the podcast of Mada al-Carmel, we discuss the proposed amendment to the Associations Law (2024) in Israel. The Associations Bill (Amendment– Donation from a Foreign Political Entity), 2024 seeks to impose a punitive tax of 80% on donations to associations from foreign states, and to prevent these associations from petitioning the courts. The primary targets of the law are human rights organizations, Arab Palestinian associations, and associations that work to expose violations against marginalized groups by the State of Israel, particularly in the occupied Palestinian territories.
