124 Pro-Palestinian Activists Arrested at Ben-Gurion Airport
(Ha'aretz) Zohar Blumenkrantz, Jack Khoury and Yaniv Kubovich - 124 pro-Palestinian activists were detained after arriving at Ben-Gurion Airport as part of a staged anti-Israel protest at the weekend. About 200 more were prevented from flying to Israel by foreign airlines. A source at the Immigration and Population Authority said that Israel intends to expel the activists within 48 hours, but foreign airlines have already warned that they will not be able to move large groups of activists out of Israel quickly. "This is the peak of the holiday season and the flights are full," said one European airline representative.
