Twenty-one Nobel Prize laureates will send a letter to the British Association of University Teachers (AUT) urging it to cancel the decision to impose an academic boycott on Haifa and Bar-Ilan universities.
The group includes two Israeli Nobel Prize winners, Professors Avram Hershko and Aaron Ciechanover, Vice Premier Shimon Peres, Elie Wiesel, Professor Daniel Kahneman, Professor David Gross, Physics Professor Steven Weinberg, Professor Aaron Klug and biologist Guenther Blobel.
