The heads of the Blue and White Future Association and Movement for Quality Government will be asked to testify about their U.S. funding.
Congress will soon be inviting two Israeli NGOs for grilling over financial support they indirectly received from the American government that supported the mass 2023 protests against judicial reform, Channel 14 reported Sunday.
The Judiciary and Foreign Affairs committees sent a joint letter last week to the Blue and White Future Association and Movement for Quality Government (MQG) asking for all documents and communications regarding monies they received from organizations that in turn were “funded in part by U.S. grant money” during the Biden administration.
They were concerned because “The use of federal grants” to undermine Israel’s democratically elected government “in this manner not only jeopardizes America’s relationship with one of its closest allies, but also undermines core civil liberties protected within the United States and Israel.”
