Israel Supreme Court Lifts Entry Ban for U.S. Student
(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - Israel's Supreme Court on Thursday ordered the state to release Lara Alqasem from Ben-Gurion Airport so she can attend the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Alqasem has admitted that she supported BDS until 2017, but has said that she then left the movement and that her desire to spend a year abroad at Hebrew University shows a clear break with her past. Justice Uzi Vogelman stated that there should be a higher standard of evidence for revoking a visa that has already been granted, as occurred in Alqasem's case, than for denying a visa to begin with.
