The war on BDS: The Israeli move against the British boycott organization

The Ministry of Diaspora Affairs recommended that the Population and Immigration Authority prevent the entry of activists from the British organization Amos Trust into Israel, following its activities promoting boycotts against Israel. Minister Amichai Shikli: "Those who act to boycott Israel cannot expect its doors to be open to them."

The Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism recommended that the Population and Immigration Authority prevent the entry of activists from the British organization Amos Trust into Israel. The decision was made following a comprehensive review conducted by the ministry's director general, Avi Cohen Skali, under the direction of Minister Amichai Shikli. The review found that the organization supports imposing sanctions and an arms embargo on Israel, and runs social media campaigns encouraging boycotts. Minister Shikli stated: "Those who act to boycott Israel cannot expect its doors to be open to them." The director general added that Israel is not obligated to allow entry to activists working against it.
