Israel denies visas to 'hostile' Human Rights Watch staff
Accusing the human rights NGO of "extreme, hostile and anti-Israel agenda", Israel has denied visas to the staff of Human Rights Watch (HRW). Israel also accused HRW of engaging "in the service of Palestinian propaganda, while falsely raising the banner of human rights". HRW condemned the move saying it "should worry anyone concerned about Israel’s commitment to basic democratic values".
