Israel Ends Work Permits for Foreign NGOs
-----------------------------------------



The Israeli newspaper Haaretz, meanwhile, is reporting the Israeli
government has stopped granting work visas for most foreign
non-governmental organizations in the Occupied Territories. Israel is
now only authorizing tourist visas, which bar the NGO employees from
working. The groups affected include Oxfam, Save the Children, and
Doctors Without Borders.
