Israel Is Refusing Entry to an American Student Because She Once Supported a Boycott

JERUSALEM — Lara Alqasem arrived in Israel last Tuesday, but she still hasn’t visited the sandy beaches in Tel Aviv or the holy sites in Jerusalem. The 22-year-old from Florida, who is hoping to start a law degree at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem next week, hasn’t even made it to the campus.

"Israel Is Refusing Entry to an American Student Because She Once Supported a Boycott" is from the October 08, 2018 World section of The Washington Post. It was written by Ruth Eglash and narrated by Sam Scholl.
