An American journalist, meanwhile, is facing deportation from Israel after being denied entry. The journalist, Jared Malsin, is the English-language editor for the Palestinian Maan News Agency. He was detained this week after arriving at Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport. In a statement, the Committee to Protect Journalists said, “Israel cannot hide behind the pretext of security to sideline journalists who have done nothing more than maintain an editorial line that the authorities dislike.”
