Israel Expels Human Rights Watch Director

The Israeli Supreme Court upheld the government's decision to expel Omar Shakir, the local director of Human Rights Watch. The expulsion is based on a 2017 law that bans foreigners who support the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. The segment notes that Human Rights Watch is often viewed as a front for political interests rather than a neutral observer.
