TEL AVIV, January 20, 2010 (WAFA)- Israel deported a Jewish-American journalist working for a Ma’an news agency.
Jared Malsin, the English-language editor of the Palestinian Ma'an news agency, was placed on a flight out of Israel Wednesday. He had spent the last week at an airport detention facility.
Malsin was detained January 12 at Israel's Ben Gurion International Airport following a vacation in the Czech Republic and ordered deported by the Israeli Interior Ministry after raising security suspicions.
