Israeli Finance Minister
Moshe Kahlon could adopt sanctions against Amnesty International
in reaction to a campaign for an international boycott of
products from Israeli settlements launched by the organization,
pro-government paper Israel ha-Yom reports. According to the
publication, Kahlon will meet with Amnesty representatives in
Israel to listen to what they have to say before taking a final
decision. They have told the paper they have received no
official communication so far.
According to Israel ha-Yom, based on a new law that enables
to adopt measures against organizations that call for the
boycott of Israeli products, Kahlon could decide - in agreement
with Justice Minister Ayelet Shaqed - to annul the fiscal
benefits for donations in favor of Amnesty, which could drop as
a consequence.
