Israel bans travel for Brad Lander after West Bank detention
Original: Israel bans travel for Brad Lander after detention in occupied West Bank https://www. aljazeera.com/video/newsfeed/2 026
Israel has revoked travel authorisation for US Democratic politician Brad Lander after he was detained in the occupied West Bank. The move bars the New York official from entering the country, drawing attention to Israel's treatment of visiting American lawmakers and officials who travel to Palestinian territories. Reports note the decision came directly after the detention incident.
Why now: A senior US Democratic figure being detained and banned by a close American ally is a politically charged diplomatic incident.
