Knesset bars all campaigners calling for BDS sanctions
ISRAEL’S parliament has voted to bar boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaigners from entering the country, national media has reported.
The Haaretz newspaper reported on Monday night that the Knesset had approved legislation banning anyone “who knowingly issues a public call for boycotting Israel that … has a reasonable possibility of leading to the imposition of a boycott.”
It also applies to those calling for boycotts of Israeli institutions in any “area under its control” — meaning illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
