Israel's Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Ministry has banned 40 activists from the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor from entering the country, citing alleged connections to Hamas, specifically targeting the group's founder, Ramy Abdu. Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli stated that the organization exploits its humanitarian image to promote terrorism. The ministry's Director-General, Avi Cohen-Scali, has coordinated with the Population and Immigration Authority to enforce this ban under Amendment No. 40 to Israel's Entry Law. In addition to the entry ban, the ministry has launched a dedicated website aimed at exposing Euro-Med's activities, which it claims are focused on harming Israel's reputation internationally.
