<div id="divLead">Israel has refused to allow the foreign ministers of four Non-Aligned Movement countries(NAM), who don’t have diplomatic ties with Tel Aviv, from entering the occupied West Bank for a high-profile meeting.</div>
<p>A Palestinian official, speaking on the condition of anonymity said on Sunday that Israel was refusing to allow entry to the foreign ministers of Malaysia, Indonesia, Bangladesh and Cuba. A senior Israeli official confirmed the news.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;A decision has been taken to bar the diplomatic representatives of several countries which do not recognize Israel from crossing the Israeli borders,&#8221; he told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.</p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;The countries in question are Cuba, Algeria, Indonesia, Malaysia and Bangladesh,&#8221; he said.</p>
<blockquote><p>The meeting, which was announced by Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Malki on Saturday, is aimed at introducing NAM members to the Palestinian situation and to ask for their support.</p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;The meeting aims to stress the right of our people and leadership to hold conferences on our land and to support our struggle to end the occupation and settlements and establish our independent state with East Jerusalem [East al-Quds] as its capital,&#8221; said al-Malki.</p>
<p>Israel occupied the West Bank as well as East al-Quds, considered by Palestinians as the capital of their homeland, during the 1967 Six-Day War.</p>
