Ubai Aboudi said he tried to exit the occupied West Bank to travel to the World Social Forum in Mexico, but was stopped by Israeli officials at the crossing into Jordan
Israel has prevented the director of a Palestinian civil-society group from travelling abroad to attend a professional conference in Mexico.
“I was informed that I am banned from travelling. I asked why I am banned from travelling. They said they did not want to inform me,” he said. Aboudi, who is a U.S. citizen, said that just a month earlier, he travelled to Jordan without any problems. Israel says the groups have ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – a small Palestinian faction with an armed wing that has carried out deadly attacks on Israelis. The PFLP is considered a terrorist group by Israel and its Western allies.
