The British Consulate here is placing increasing difficulties in the way of Palestine-bound tourists, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency learned today.
The difficulties, it was revealed by prospective tourists, are even placed in the path of those Jews who are able to deposit the required £60 with the Consulate. Reason for this action is ascribed by the Consulate to the fact that a number of Jewish tourists have allegedly forfeited their deposits and remained illegally in Palestine.
