Israel to deny 20 International groups entry

Israel has published a list of 20 international groups whose members will be barred from entering the country due to their support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.
 
The blacklist, which was released by Israel's strategic affairs ministry, includes organizations based in a number of European countries, as well as the United States, Chile and South Africa.

The BDS movement is a Palestinian-led nonviolent campaign launched more than a decade ago seeking to end Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories.

It demands equal rights for Palestinians by putting pressure on the Israeli government via economic and cultural boycotts. 

Israel has long tried to ban the movement, and Sunday's move is seen as a continuation of a March 2017 decision to amend its entry law, permitting Israeli authorities to bar entrance to activists who promote the boycott of Israel or its illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.
