Alwaght- Israeli regime introduced a new regulation banning all supporter of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement to enter the land under its control.
Based on the new measure, passed in the regimes parliament also known as Knesset, everyone who supports the movement is banned from entering these lands.
It noted that visas and permanent residency of any manner will not be granted to foreigners if they or their organization which they are active in have issued public calls for the BDS or pledged to take part in it.
"In recent years calls to boycott Israel have been growing… It seems this is a new front in the war against Israel,” the Knesset said in a statement.
Critics of the bill say that its wording leaves it open to target Palestinians temporarily residing in the occupied territories.
The BDS movement was initiated in 2005 by over 170 Palestinian organizations that were pushing for “various forms of boycott against Israel until it meets its obligations under international law.”
Thousands of volunteers worldwide have joined the BDS to help promote the Palestinian cause, including scores of Palestinian and international trade unions, NGOs, initiatives, scores of academic societies, business societies, trade unions, and cultural figures.
It has also gained support in countries such as the US, Canada, Norway, Denmark, Romania, South Africa, Australia, and Britain.
