Last Updated(Beijing Time):2012-08-05 20:25

Israel's Foreign Ministry on Sunday banned five foreign ministers from entering Ramallah to attend a Non-Aligned Movement conference. Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor confirmed the report to Xinhua.

"These foreign ministers decided to come into Ramallah with complete disregard from Israel towards their next conference, which is scheduled to take place in Iran next month," Palmor said.

The blacklisted envoys hailed from Bangladesh, Cuba, Indonesia and Malaysia - countries with no diplomatic relations with Israel.

Palestinian Foreign Minister, Riyad al-Malki, announced the meeting on Saturday.

"The meeting aims to stress the right of our people and leadership to hold such conferences in our land," al-Malki said.

Abbas is expected ask for the movement's support in the planned Palestinian bid for statehood at the U.N. General Assembly (UNGA) session in November.
