Majd Kayyal does not have any of the privileges enjoyed by Anghel – a prominent foreign correspondent for Uvda (“Fact”), the flagship investigative program of Israel’s main commercial channel. Unlike Anghel, Kayyal was arrested immediately upon his return from Beirut, after reporting on a conference he participated in for the Jadaliyya website. The pretext for the arrests was departing Israel unlawfully (meaning, entering an enemy state), and contacting a foreign agent (a charge that was dropped a few days later). The detention went on for five days, in a windowless room, without the right to counsel and under a blanket gag order that stopped most Israeli media (and controversially, the New York Times) from reporting on the affair in real time. There is every reason to believe that if it wasn’t for the swift action of Kayyal’s colleagues at Adalah and the rendering of the gag order ridiculous by foreign and independent local media who ignored the ban, the “intense,” unmonitored interrogation would still be going on.
