Israel ‘reviewing’ nuclear spy Vanunu’s travel restrictions
The Foreign Ministry said on Sunday it’s reviewing the travel ban imposed on Israeli nuclear secret-spiller Mordechai Vanunu after Norway granted him permission to immigrate so he can be united with his wife.
“Israel will continue to review updates of the situation in order to determine appropriate restrictions in accordance with security dangers posed by Vanunu,” a statement said.
A ministry spokesperson said the restrictions on Vanunu’s freedom of movement were “due to the danger that he posed” to the Jewish state.
He declined to say if Vanunu had made an official request to travel to Norway.
Vanunu’s wife, Kristin Joachimsen, told Norway’s TV2 channel Friday the couple requested family reunification after they wed in May 2015. Norway’s Directorate of Immigration confirmed permission had been granted.
