About the law and the debate

What the sponsors propose

According to the sponsors of the law, its purpose is to increase transparency and correct gaps in existing legislation regarding the funding of political activity in Israel by foreign political entities. According to the explanatory notes, currently the obligation to report receipt of funds from a foreign political entity applies only to associations, even though many bodies active in politics are not registered as associations, and this obligation can be circumvented by transferring funds through a third party or delaying the reporting. In addition, according to the sponsors, there is a gap due to the absence of an obligation to report support for publications or activities of the supported body. The law is intended, according to the sponsors, to balance the right of political organizations to operate freely against the public's right to know who is funding political positions.
