Six Israeli journalists who arrived in Jordan to cover the Arab League conference have been expelled. The reporters, from Yediot Acharonot, Ha\'aretz, and Channels 1 and 2, as well as the editor of an Israeli-Arab newspaper, were told to leave by Jordanian security officers. The reason: \"We cannot guarantee your safety.\"
Israel Police plans to press charges against David Chaim, 25, of Haifa, for breaking a law banning unauthorized entry into the Palestinian Authority. Chaim, together with three Israeli-Arabs, entered the city of Tulkarm yesterday, and the four were kidnapped shortly afterwards by Fatah activists who realized they were Israeli. The three Arabs were released after about an hour, but Chaim was taken to the office of the city governor and was released only after the intervention of Yasser Arafat and Israeli-Arab MK Ahmed Tibi. Several Israelis who entered PA-controlled areas mistakenly or purposely in the past few months have been murdered by Palestinians.
