Israel bars Greek trade union delegation from West Bank visit

Greek and Palestinian authorities condemned Israel’s decision to deny entry to a delegation of Greek trade union representatives scheduled to travel to the occupied West Bank for a solidarity visit. The representatives had planned to meet local groups during the visit. No reason for the denial was provided in the reports.

Regional statements Greek officials described the move as an obstacle to international labor solidarity. Palestinian officials called the decision an infringement on freedom of movement. The incident occurred amid ongoing restrictions on foreign delegations entering the West Bank. No further details on the size of the group or planned itinerary were released.
