Saudi arrested after Israeli reporter sneaks into Mecca
A Saudi who allegedly helped a non-Muslim enter the holy city of Mecca has been arrested, police in the kingdom said on Friday, after online backlash against an Israeli journalist.
The journalist, Gil Tamary of Israel’s Channel 13, on Monday posted to Twitter video of himself sneaking into Mecca, Islam’s holiest city, in defiance of a ban on non-Muslims.
