Israeli authorities are pushing to impose new restrictions on foreigners who wish to visit or live in the West Bank. Human rights groups say the measures will have serious consequences for thousands of people who are married to or in relationships with Palestinians. The regulations, which were due to come into effect this week, have now been amended and their implementation delayed until October after being challenged in the courts. For more, we hear from one of the NGOs that took up the case: Jessica Montell, executive director of the Israeli NGO HaMoked.
Meanwhile, the Israeli army this week conceded that one of its soldiers likely shot Palestinian-American reporter Shireen Abu Akleh. A final investigation into the killing of the Al Jazeera journalist, who died while covering an Israeli raid in May, found that she'd been mistaken for a militant. Her family says Israeli authorities are refusing to take responsibility for her murder.
