During a question and answer session before the Iranian parliament, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said the Iranian regime's work with the OSF predated his tenure. According to the BBC, he said that he has managed to "restrict and regulate it."

According to a report published by Israel's Strategic Affairs Ministry, Soros has backed a large number of groups affiliated with the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement, which seeks to isolate Israel. The groups have been blacklisted by Israel and their activists are barred from entering the country.

In 2016, Soros was found to have donated millions to Palestinian and Israeli organizations that set out to delegitimize Israel through U.S. and EU advocacy.

Over the years, he has also supported left-wing organizations in Israel such as Breaking the Silence and the New Israel Fund through the OSF, according to the watchdog group NGO Monitor. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here.
