Liberman revokes entry permit for PA liaison

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman revokes the entry permit for Muhammad Madani, the PA’s liaison to Israel and an aide to PA President Mahmoud Abbas, the Ynet news website reports.

Liberman was supported by the Shin Bet security agency in barring Madani from Israel for “subversive” activities, the report says.

“A foreign diplomatic official who is trying to intervene in political life in Israel is illegitimate,” Liberman says.
