The Counter-Terrorism Bureau at the Israeli Prime Minister's Office has issued a statement banning Israeli Jews from accessing six countries and warning them from entering 40 other countries around the world -- Turkey comes on top of them.

The bureau justifies this decision with threats of intentions and plots by terrorist organizations against Jews.

There are members operating under the Islamic jihad plotting to target Jews. ISIS, al-Qaeda, Lebanese Hezbollah, and other Iranian militias admitted this, according to the statement.

There are 40 countries that Jews are urged not to be present in, including Egypt’s Sinai and all Arab states. However, they were classified based on the danger level with Sinai in the lead followed by Turkey, Jordan then some African countries such as Morocco, Tunisia, Mali, Niger, Côte d'Ivoire, Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa.

In Asia, countries which Israeli jews are urged to abstain from entering are: Thailand (south), Philippine (north), Kashmir and all countries surrounding Iran (Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkmenistan, Armenia, and the Arabian Gulf countries).

The warning extended to Western Europe countries as well but in a lesser degree, with affirmation that ISIS and Hezbollah intend to carry out terrorist attacks against Jews specifically.

The intelligence calls on Jews to refrain from revealing their identity, boasting and checking in on the social network.

The European Union on Monday condemned new Israeli measures to tighten control of the West Bank and pave the way for more settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory, AFP reported.

"The European Union condemns recent decisions by Israel's security cabinet to expand Israeli control in the West Bank. This move is another step in the wrong direction," EU spokesman Anouar El Anouni told journalists.

The atrocities unleashed on El-Fasher in Sudan's Darfur region last October were a "preventable human rights catastrophe", the United Nations said Monday, warning they now risked being repeated in the neighbouring Kordofan region.

 

"My office sounded the alarm about the risk of mass atrocities in the besieged city of El-Fasher for more than a year ... but our warnings were ignored," UN rights chief Volker Turk told the Human Rights Council in Geneva.

 

He added that he was now "extremely concerned that these violations and abuses may be repeated in the Kordofan region".

The General Secretariat of the Arab League strongly condemned decisions by Israeli occupation authorities to impose fundamental changes on the legal and administrative status of the occupied Palestinian territories, particularly in the West Bank, describing them as a dangerous escalation and a flagrant violation of international law, international legitimacy resolutions, and signed agreements, SPA reported.

In a statement, the Arab League said the measures include facilitating the confiscation of private Palestinian property and transferring planning and licensing authorities in the city of Hebron and the area surrounding the Ibrahimi Mosque to occupation authorities.

It warned of the serious repercussions of these actions on the rights of the Palestinian people and on Islamic and Christian holy sites.

The statement reaffirmed the Arab League’s firm support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, foremost among them the establishment of their independent state on the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
