Netanyahu says he’ll appoint Israeli envoy to Christian world
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks to the Christian Media Summit in Jerusalem, where he vows to appoint an emissary of the Israeli government to the Christian world.
He also addresses the ongoing legal saga surrounding a US student denied entry to Israel over her alleged support for boycotting the Jewish state.
“I trust that Minister [Gilad] Erdan has examined it and looked into it,” Netanyahu says of Lara Alqasem’s case.
Netanyahu notes the Supreme Court earlier today said it will consider Alqasem’s request for an appeal. “They will decide,” He says. “We will see how it develops.”
Netanyahu says that if the Supreme Court doesn’t take up Alqasem’s appeal, “she will be deported.”
