IDF to act to cut funding from institutions whose students engage in "illegal activity against IDF and Palestinians"
Dr. Aaron Lerner
 
Yediot Ahronot correspondent Yossi Yehoshua reports in today's edition that
Deputy Minister of Defense Matan Vilnai (Labor) held a meeting last Thursday
of the defense establishment at which it was decided to act to cut funding
from educational institutions that have students who are "extreme right wing
activists".
"Vilnai instructed the security elements to identify yeshivot, associations
and schools that receive state funds within which there is incitement or
whose students engage in criminal activity against the IDF and against
Palestinians. The defense establishment will act to stop the flow of funds
to those institutions, and in certain cases even check the legal possibility
of issuing an administrative order closing down the institutions that aid in
the violation of the law in the territories. This is to be carried out with
the cooperation of Shabak, Yesha police, the Judea and Samaria
Administrative Authority, Ministry of Education and legal elements in the
Ministry of Defense and Central Command."
