Permits for Palestinian visitations revoked after terror attack

Following the terror attack at the Damascus Gate in which border policeman Hadas Malka was killed, the Prime Minister held a conference call with the Minister of Internal Security, the Police Commissioner and other security officials, and received a briefing about the incident.

Prime Minister Netanyahu accepted the recommendation of the Minister of Public Security and the Police Commissioner, and decided to cancel the permits for immediate family visits from the West Bank. However, permits for entry into Israel were left in place for Ramadan prayers.
