RAMALLAH (PIC)– Israeli media revealed that the Israeli occupation foreign ministry plans to restrict the work of international relief organisations working in Palestine in terms of restricting travel permits for their representatives.
Maariv newspaper said on Tuesday that the foreign ministry aims to reduce the number of travel permits given to charity workers working with international organisations including those affiliated with the United Nations after some Israeli reports said that the number of those workers has increased.
Israeli reports say that there are more than 1000 charity workers in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The reports accused charity organisations of using loopholes in the system to obtain travel permits for their workers which allow them to enter Israel.
The Israeli occupation took a number of measure over the past couple of years to restrict the entry of international solidarity activists to Palestine and is systematically trying to restrict the activities of charities helping Palestinians.
