Reeling from Massive Oil Spill, Israeli Government Puts Lid on Story Uri Cohen
Gag order approved by courts to avoid impeding ‘delicate international investigation’
An Israeli court granted a request by the Environmental Protection Ministry to place a sweeping gag order on the government’s inquiry into last week’s massive oil spill that has closed beaches up and down the Mediterranean coast.
According to the injunction issued on Monday, details that could identify those suspected of being involved in the disastrous incident, including the name of the vessel in question, its port of departure and its current location, cannot be published by the media until February 28.
