Tax-exempt Status
The Israel Tax Authority denied the Peres Center's request for tax-exempt status in Israel. According to Haaretz, after the center applied for the tax-exempt status the Tax Authority demanded that the organization stop funding the training of the physicians from the Gaza Strip in Israeli hospitals. The demand led the organization to suspend its application rather than stop the project.
The Peres Center for Peace has tax-exempt status in the United States, the United Kingdom and Italy.

Famous quotes containing the word status:
“Recent studies that have investigated maternal satisfaction have found this to be a better prediction of mother-child interaction than work status alone. More important for the overall quality of interaction with their children than simply whether the mother works or not, these studies suggest, is how satisfied the mother is with her role as worker or homemaker. Satisfied women are consistently more warm, involved, playful, stimulating and effective with their children than unsatisfied women.”
—Alison Clarke-Stewart (20th century)
