A statement issued yesterday, Sunday, by the Office of Foreign Minister Jadaoun Saar, stated that the minister issued instructions not to extend the Whittle visa “in the wake of biased and hostile behavior against Israel, distorting the reality, submitting false reports, and famous in Israel, but rather violating the United Nations bases themselves related to neutrality.”
