'No filming' bill

The Israeli regime moves to ban filming its troops’ interactions with Palestinians by endorsing a bill that seeks to criminalize it. The bill would make the filming or distributing footage punishable by up to ten years behind bars. A ministerial committee which oversees legislation voted to approve the controversial proposal on Sunday. Rights groups film Israeli soldiers on duty in the occupied West Bank to expose their human rights violations.
