uin	130821
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2018 answer text <p>Israeli Immigration Policy is a matter for the Government of Israel. We are not aware of a full travel ban on the British charities War on Want and Palestine Solidarity Campaign. The Israeli Parliament passed a law on 6 March 2017 to authorise the denial of entry to foreign nationals who have publicly called for a boycott of Israel and/or settlements, or who belong to an organisation which has called for a boycott. On 7 January, the Israeli Ministry of Public Security published guidance identifying 20 non-government organisations which are particularly associated with calling for a boycott of Israel. This list included War on Want and Palestine Solidarity Campaign. Individuals strongly associated with these organisations may be denied entry to Israel, but we are not aware of a blanket travel ban. We have updated our travel advice to recommend that concerned British nationals contact the Israeli Embassy for further information.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 13/03/2018 17:45:45 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
