The Israeli Minister of Education has banned groups and organizations that describe Israel as an “apartheid state” from l lecturing at schools – a move that targets one of the leading human rights groups in Israel, “B’Tselem” after it began describing Israel and its control over the Palestinian territories as a single “apartheid” system. Education Minister Yoav Galant tweeted that he had instructed the ministry’s director-general to “prevent the entry of organizations calling Israel ‘an apartheid state’ or demeaning Israeli soldiers from lecturing at schools.” Israel passed a law in 2018 preventing lectures or activities in schools by groups that support legal action being taken against Israeli soldiers abroad.
