News in Brief

On 23 July, 12 Jewish women, 12 Palestinian women and four children spent a day at the seaside at Tel Aviv.
As the Palestinians were from the West Bank, and had no entry permit into Israel, the day out was an act of civil disobedience, a protest at the “Entry into Israel Law”, which allows every Jew to move freely between the Mediterranean and the Jordan, while restricting Palestinians. After the Palestinians had been safely smuggled back, the Jewish women wrote to the press publicising their act of defiance.
