WANDERING JEWISH JOURNALISTS TO BE CHARGED BY POLICE FOR VISITING ‘ENEMY STATES’ OF LEBANON AND SYRIA
The Middle East Times reports that Israeli police plan to charge three journalists who traveled without state permission to ‘enemy states,’ Lebanon and Syria.
“We intend to ask prosecutors to indict the three journalists as with their illegal acts they not only put their lives in danger, but also the security of Israel,” the officer in charge of the case, Alon Sharabani, told public radio.
He named the reporters as Ron Ben Yishai of the mass-market Yediot Aharonot daily who in September traveled to Syria, and two journalists who traveled to Lebanon - Lisa Goldman of the private Channel 10 television, and Tzur Shizaf from a geographic magazine.
Israeli legislation prohibits the citizens of the Jewish state, even those who hold multiple nationalities, from traveling to ‘enemy states’ without permission from the interior ministry, an offence that can be punishable with up to four years in prison.
