The danger of Israel ‘s new restrictions on travel to the West Bank, by Michael Arria and Yumna Patel
From July 5, Palestinians who hold foreign passports will be subject to intrusive restrictions. “It’s apartheid in action: if a Palestinian American and a Jewish American arrive together in the West Bank, the Palestinian will be treated differently from the Jew.”

Further Israeli restrictions to the entry of foreign nationals to the occupied State of Palestine
“The State of Palestine rejects all Israeli restrictions, stating that any recognition of regulations such amounts to recognition of Israeli sovereignty in occupied Palestine…. By controlling Palestine’s population registry and access to our country, the Israeli occupation is perpetuating an apartheid regime that denies the Palestinian people their inalienable rights.”
