40 passengers from Israel faced hours-long detainment at Moscow airport: ‘Utterly unacceptable’


About 40 passengers from Israel were detained for several hours at an airport in Moscow on Monday before being let into Russia following an intervention by Israel’s Foreign Ministry.

“As soon as the incident became known, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, acting on the instruction of Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, contacted the foreign ministry in Moscow and the Russian embassy in Israel and, following this intervention, the issue was resolved and the entry of the Israelis was approved,” a Foreign Ministry spokesperson told JNS on Tuesday.

“It was made clear to the Russians that this conduct is utterly unacceptable and that Israel views the incident very seriously,” the spokesperson added.
