Is Lebanon blocking entry to Israeli-Arab author?
Israeli-Arab author Ala Hlehel, who received approval this week from the High Court of Justice to travel to Beirut to collect a literary prize, is still waiting for approval to enter Lebanon, according to a report in London-based newspaper Al-Hayat.
According to the report, the Lebanese embassy in London, where Hlehel is currently staying, has not yet granted the author an entry permit into the country as he is traveling on an Israeli passport.
In issuing its ruling, the court this rejected arguments submitted by state attorneys on behalf of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Interior Minister Eli Yishai.
Generally, it is forbidden for Israeli citizens to visit Lebanon, considered by Israel to be an enemy state...
A state that doesn't permit an Israeli citizen in is an enemy state, that's enough clear and obvious to our Justices now?
