Jerusalem, 12 November, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israel’s Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Minister Amichai Chikli on Thursday ordered the Population and Immigration Authority to deny entry to activists affiliated with the British organization Amos Trust, citing evidence of the group’s systematic efforts to promote economic, cultural, and academic boycotts of Israel, as well as UK government sanctions and an arms embargo.
An investigation by the Diaspora Affairs Ministry identified Amos Trust campaigns advocating cultural and academic boycotts, and support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.
The ministry also found that the organization’s social media campaigns encourage activists to participate in pressure campaigns and boycott initiatives targeting Israel.
Founded in 1985 and headquartered in London, Amos Trust describes itself as an organization promoting “justice for Palestinians, climate justice and gender equality.”
