Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs is boycotting Al-Arabiya after the network yanked an Israeli official off the air — at the request of another Arab being interviewed. Haaretz reports:
The incident took place during an interview program when one of interviewees, Hassan al-Juni, a Lebanese expert on international law, protested the fact he was being interviewed side by side with a spokesman from Jerusalem., the Foreign Ministry’s Arab media department deputy manager Lior Ben Dor.
The show’s producers took Ben Dor off-air immediately after al-Juni’s request.
