Israel Denies Work Visa to German Journalist Over Anti-Zionist Stance

Israel Denies Work Visa to German Journalist Over Anti-Zionist Stance

Israel's Population and Immigration Authority denied a work visa to German journalist Serena Bilanceri on Sunday, preventing her from becoming the permanent Israel correspondent for Die Tageszeitung. The decision followed a recommendation from the Diaspora Affairs Ministry, citing Bilanceri's articles accusing Israel of "apartheid" and calling for international sanctions. Ministry director-general Avi Cohen Scali stated that individuals who "slander Israel" and call for boycotts will not be allowed into the country. This action is part of a broader effort by Israeli authorities to counter foreign criticism and boycott calls.
