Translation by " Jerusalem " dot com - The Hebrew newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth, revealed today, Wednesday, an embarrassing incident for Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett that almost canceled his meeting with the President of the European Commission , Ursula von der Leyen, minutes before it was held.

According to the newspaper, the journalists who arrived last night to cover the meeting were asked for a security check and an unusual interrogation, as journalists of Palestinian origin refused to undergo this examination and interrogation, which caused such a stir that the delegation accompanying the President of the Commission threatened to cancel the meeting with Bennett if it did not take place. Case resolved.

The newspaper pointed out that attempts to persuade the journalists to submit to the inspection and approval failed, which led to a number of them leaving the place in a state of anger.

European Commission staff told officials in Bennett's office that this was a serious incident that needed to be taken note of.

Bennett's office said that 4 journalists who joined the visit refused to pass the very strict security check, then left the place after 10 minutes, indicating that they were not allowed to enter, and the issue was not raised during the session between the head of Deer Line and Bennett.
