Israel: Taxation

Asked by Kate OsamorLabour (Co-op)Foreign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 9 June 2025UIN 54925

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what representations he has made to the Israeli Government on the NGO taxation bill which has been proposed in the Israeli Knesset.

Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer

We are deeply troubled by the proposed non-governmental organisation (NGO) taxation bill which threatens to undermine the ability of NGOs to operate effectively and continue their important work in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs). We continue to raise these concerns with the Israeli government.
