Supreme Court accepts Lara Alqasem’s appeal against her deportation
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Supreme Court accepts US student Lara Alqasem’s appeal against her deportation and will be allowed to study in Israel, in a major blow for Strategic Affairs Minister Gilad Erdan, who has been insisting she is a threat to Israel.
Israel’s top court overturns a previous ruling by a lower court against Alqasem, who has been accused by the government of promoting a boycott against the Jewish state.
She will now be able to study at the Hebrew University, which supported her in her legal battle during more than two weeks of detention at Ben Gurion Airport.
