The Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to the report that 90 Turkish tourists were deported Sunday from Israel when they tried to reach what they described as a tour of the holy sites of Islam, and especially - Jerusalem.
"According to the Population Authority, this involved an Israeli agent who forged a group visa. They informed him in advance that he must pay a guarantee for the group and if not paid, they will not be admitted. In order to bypass the Turkish airline's ban on boarding the plane without a visa, he forged the group visa. "
