Tel Aviv, December 28 (RHC)-- Israeli government ministers have backed a bill to crack down on human rights groups by requiring them to disclose details about funding they receive from foreign governments.

Critics say the bill unfairly targets groups critical of the Israeli military, like Breaking the Silence, which receives more than half its funding from European governments, while shielding right-wing groups that rely on private donors, who are exempt.

European officials have reportedly slammed the proposal, calling it "reminiscent of totalitarian regimes."
