Authorities, organizations and institutions benefiting from the foundation's support pledge that the budgets they receive will not be diverted beyond the Green Line, according to a document reached by Israel Today.
The pledge letter, which is signed by any body receiving budgetary assistance from the Basic Fund, states that "we are not involved and / or engaged, in any way, in activities beyond the borders of the State of Israel as they were before 04.06.1967. And Reno undertakes not to engage in such activities with the donation money. ".
This means that the veteran body, which is a major part of the contributions of world Jewry outside North America, is not willing to participate in projects in the Golan Heights, East Jerusalem, the Jordan Valley, Judea and Samaria. It should be noted that senior members of the Foundation have tried over the years to change the problem, but the tax laws in donor countries, such as Germany, Brazil, Australia and more, do not provide tax benefits for projects beyond the Green Line. As a result, attempts to remove the restriction fail and it remains as before.
Coalition Speaker MK Miki Zohar, who is running for Likud representation in national institutions, including the Keren Hayesod, is committed to responding to the discriminatory policy. "If there is a good reason why I applied for the job, that is the reason. It is inconceivable that the Zionist and national institutions will not recognize Judea and Samaria, the Jordan Valley and the Golan Heights as part of the Land of Israel. This is in stark contrast to the fulfillment of the Zionist dream of settling the Land of Israel. - I will work to change this for the sake of the Land of Israel, the people of Israel and the teachings of Israel. "

The remarks are being made ahead of the party elections for the Zionist Organization on Sunday. Three dominant lists deal with the Likud's representation in institutions, which include the Keren Hayesod. Mickey Zohar, supported by Netanyahu and Yariv Levin, who also wants to be elected Likud leader; Jacob Chaguel, the current chairman of the Zionist Organization, supported by Danny Danon and David Bitten; and Haim Katz, who is currently not running a candidate for World Likud but running a list that will give him power in the important institution.
Fundamental Funds Respond: "Funds raise hundreds of millions of dollars around the world. Donations are made by independent charities that are legally registered in various countries. Unfortunately, existing tax laws do not allow tax credits for donations beyond the Green Line. Of course, this is not a policy or ideology of a fund. Fundamentally, except in international laws that the organization cannot change, and that our donors are subject to. "
