Apparently a group of Birthright Israel participants from Australia has recently visited Hebron, which according to official policy of the organization is not permitted; “Our tours do not travel to or through areas of the West Bank, Gaza or East Jerusalem, other than the Jewish Quarter of the Old City.”
This video was posted to YouTube and has since been taken down. While we hear Birthright intends to take some undefined action against the trip provider, the organization’s Israel office has not responded to multiple requests for comment.
