I discussed the Avnei Nezer (tshuva may be found at
http://www.aishdas.org/avodah/vol23/v23n138.shtml#12) on Avodah at
http://www.aishdas.org/avodah/vol23/v23n138.shtml#03

I noted there that according to the Avnei Nezer, if the gov't (in this
case, the UN) gives permission, then this is not considered going
"b'choma" and then one is *mechuyav* (par. 56) to make aliyah.
