Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, said Friday the Israeli military's decision to revoke entry permits of some 83,000 Palestinians following the Tel Aviv attack is tantamount to "collective punishment."
Hussein's spokesperson, Ravina Shamdasani, told reporters that the UN official believes the cancellation of permits "will only increase the sense of injustice and frustration felt by Palestinians in this very tense time." [...]
The West Bank village of Yatta, home to the attackers, is also under lockdown by Israeli security, with no one allowed to leave or enter the village except in humanitarian or medical emergencies. The village has become a flashpoint for violence in recent months.
