Immigration policy forces researchers out of West Bank

Article Abstract:

An Israeli immigration policy is forcing foreign academics to abandon their jobs as their access to the West Bank and Gaza Strip is being denied or restricted by border controls. If this restriction continues a group called Israeli Committee for the Rights of Residency wants the Israel's academics to stand up against the restrictions, and the Palestinian universities want the foreign academics and scientific organizations to protest against the destabilization of the education and research infrastructure.
