| Israel's Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman (C), MK Faina Kirschenbaum
(R) and MK Robert Ilatov (2nd L) attend a press conference at the
Knesset, Israel's parliament in Jerusalem, on July 20, 2011, following a voting
session over two controversial bills. One bill calls for the
establishment of parliamentary inquiry committees to investigate foreign
organizations and governments' funding of left-wing non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) and human rights groups accused of anti-Israel
activity, especially when it comes to land purchases on their behalf.
The second bill would probe the NGOs and groups that take an active part
in the delegitimization of the Israel Defense Forces. |
