US House fails to pass anti-NGO bill that could target pro-Palestine groups


Legislators in the United States House of Representatives have voted down a bill that would have granted the Department of the Treasury broad authority to revoke the tax-exempt status of nonprofits deemed to be supporting “terrorism”.

On Tuesday, the Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act, or HR 9495, failed to reach the two-thirds majority needed in the House to pass.
