Closed 424 signatures

What the petition asks

Leaders of countries that ban the entry of Israelis or Jews should be allowed to enter the UK in their capacity as head of their Government, but should not be invited to make an official State Visit because it would cause embarrassment to Her Majesty the Queen.
You will be shocked that in the 21st century there are countries which ban entry to their borders based on religion!

Countries (including airlines) which ban Israelis/Jews from entering their borders include: Algeria,Bangladesh,Brunei,Iran,Iraq,Kuwait, Lebanon,Libya,Malaysia,Oman,Pakistan,Saudi Arabia,Sudan,Syria, United Arab Emirates,Yemen

They are however free to enter Israel!

The government should also pressurize these countries to reverse this disgraceful policies.
