Archaeology professor Raphael Greenberg is facing backlash and calls for his removal from an upcoming Israeli Archaeology Conference after publicly criticizing archaeological endeavors in the West Bank. The CEO of Israeli organization 'Ad Kan' has appealed to Israel's Heritage Minister and the Director General of the Israel Antiquities Authority to have Greenberg removed from the conference. Greenberg's comments led to the Palestine Exploration Fund also calling for a boycott of the conference. Greenberg's lecture at the conference will explore the 'archaeologization' of Israel. Israeli organization Emek Shaveh defended Greenberg, emphasizing the importance of diverse perspectives in academic discourse.
