In a first, Israel denies entry to foreign boycott activist
JERUSALEM — In a first such move, Israel has denied entry to a foreign activist involved in efforts to boycott the Jewish state.
Israel’s public security and interior ministers said on Tuesday that they blocked the entry of Isabel Phiri of Malawi because of her long affiliation with the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement.
Israel has long warned it would take action BDS activists but this appears to be the first time it has done it.
