[80771] Ministry of Diaspora Affairs bans entry of pro-Palestinian activist who called for a boycott of Israel

Denying entry to Israel following anti-state activity

The Ministry of Diaspora Affairs, under the instruction of Minister Amichai Chikli, announced today (02/06/2026) a ban on the entry of a pro-Palestinian American activist into Israel. According to reports, the decision was made due to the activist's extensive activity in support of a boycott of Israel and the promotion of divestment from the Israeli economy.

Amit Segal, who is identified with right-wing positions that emphasize the protection of national interests, noted that the ban comes as a retaliatory step for the activist's involvement in "anti-Israel protests after the October 7 massacre" according to Amit Segal.

The report was also confirmed by the channel Israel News | Uncensored - The Voice of News🇮🇱, which emphasized that the actions of the American activist constitute justified grounds for denying her entry into the country's territory. The channel cited the decision as an official step by the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs against those who promote hostile campaigns against Israel in accordance with the publication on Israel News.
