JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday rescinded a warning by the Israeli Government Press Office that foreign journalists who board a flotilla challenging Israel’s naval blockade of the Gaza Strip could be barred from the country for a decade.
Sunday’s threat strained relations with the international media and drew criticism in Israel, including from one of Netanyahu’s deputies.
Netanyahu said a “a special procedure” would be drawn up for journalists covering the flotilla who might arrive in Israel in violation of its entry laws.
