Israel on Sunday said 17 beaches were safe for the public to visit following a devastating oil spill in the Mediterranean last month that polluted most of its shoreline.
In a joint statement, the environmental protection, health and interior ministries said cleanup at some beaches had been completed and samples taken from the water indicated they were safe for water sports. The authorities warned, however, that copious amounts of tar could yet wash up on beaches that had been cleared.
