Four Republican senators have called on Secretary of State Antony Blinken to stop U.S. funding for a nongovernmental organization that has been accused of influencing the protests against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s proposed changes to Israel’s judiciary—including its Supreme Court.
The April 4 letter was signed by Sens. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.).
