Israel bars rights group from volunteer programme


"B'Tselem was one of 10 human rights groups which wrote to the attorney general last July to raise "concerns about grave violations of international humanitarian law" in the bombing and shelling of residential buildings in the Gaza Strip."

"Uri Ariel, minister responsible for the National Insurance Institute, which supervises the scheme, said on Tuesday he had given orders that volunteering with groups seen as hostile to the state would no longer be recognised as national service."

"It's not just B'Tselem," he added. "It's not just one organisation, there may be others and it applies to them as well." News Link
