Israel has blacklisted 20 international organizations, including Jewish Voice for Peace, and denied their representatives entry into the country.
Israel's Public Security and Strategic Affairs Minister said the groups are supporting a boycott against Israel that is aimed at undermining the country's legitimacy worldwide.
Meanwhile Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for the closure of the United Nations' Palestinian refugee agency. Israel has accused the agency of bias and of perpetuating the Palestinian refugee issue.
