PNC Calls for Quick Passage of Israeli Passport Ban as Own Supermajority Stalls Progress

The ruling People's National Congress (PNC) has called for the swift passage of the Immigration Amendment Bill, stalled in Parliament's Security Services Committee for over four months, which would ban entry of Israeli passport holders. The Cabinet agreed to amend the law on 2 June 2024, but the legislative change has not been implemented and no timeline for Parliament's reconvening has been confirmed.
