- Israel's Diaspora Affairs Ministry recommended banning British "Amos Trust" activists from entering the country.
- The ministry cited findings of systematic anti-Israel campaigns, including boycott promotion.
- Minister Amichai Chikli stated Israel will not host activists working to boycott it.
- Amos Trust is accused of promoting economic, cultural, and academic boycotts against Israel.
- The organization presents itself as humanitarian but is alleged to engage in hostile activities.
Israel's Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and the Fight Against Antisemitism has recommended that the Population and Immigration Authority completely ban entry for activists associated with the British organization "Amos Trust." This action stems from findings indicating the organization operates a systematic campaign against Israel, including promoting boycotts in economic, cultural, and academic spheres.
The ministry's recommendation, directly guided by Minister Amichai Chikli, is based on recent monitoring of Amos Trust's activities. The organization is accused of actively encouraging boycotts against Israel and running social media campaigns advocating for sanctions and an arms embargo against the IDF. Minister Chikli stated, "Those who work to boycott Israel, isolate it, and harm its legitimacy cannot expect its doors to be open to them. The State of Israel will not serve as a host for activists who systematically work against it."
Amos Trust, operating since 1985, presents itself as a humanitarian organization focused on climate justice, gender equality, and Palestinian human rights. However, Israeli officials contend that beneath this facade, the group engages in hostile, planned activities aimed at damaging Israel's international image. Avi Cohen Scali, Director General of the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs, who signed the recommendation, affirmed, "The State of Israel is not obligated to allow entry to activists who operate against it in an organized and continuous manner. The findings we have gathered speak for themselves."
