Day passes for West Bank Palestinians suspended after stabbing attack
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFollowing the stabbing attack in Tel Aviv, the Defense Ministry suspends day passes for Palestinians to enter Israel.
The Palestinian teenager apparently entered Israel with one such pass as part of a group known as “Natural Peace Tours,” which is supposed to forge relationships between Palestinians and Israelis, a defense official says.
The ministry’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories says the one-day permits granted to various organizations and groups will be frozen until an investigation of the matter can be conducted, the official says.
