JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel said Sunday it was deporting the son of American media magnate Shari Redstone for violating the country’s coronavirus quarantine rules while paying a secret visit to his model girlfriend.

Israel’s Population and Immigration Authority said it had granted Brandon Korff an exceptional permit to enter the country on Friday to visit his brother, who is serving in the Israeli military.
It said Korff “violated the isolation orders from the moment he entered the country and met his Israeli partner” and “stayed with her in the same apartment.” It said Korff, son of the chairwoman of ViacomCBS, was ordered to leave the country immediately.
The statement did not identify the partner. But Korff, who is in his mid-30s, is dating Israeli model Yael Shelbia. The 18-year-old model, who is doing compulsory military service, has appeared in campaigns for Israeli clothing company Renuar and Kim Kardashian’s KKW Beauty makeup line.
Israel banned entry to non-citizens or residents in March in an effort to clamp down on the spread of the novel coronavirus. Israel requires all individuals entering the country to remain in quarantine for two weeks following their arrival.
Last week, Israel’s deputy director of the Health Ministry came under fire after an Israeli billionaire businessman was granted an exemption from the isolation orders. Teddy Sagi was then spotted attending a party with Israeli celebrities.
Good for isreal brake the rules and get thrown out
This kid is a direct descendant of the Bal Shem Tov, through his father, the Rebbe Korf of Zvhil – Mezhbizh, of Boston (parents divorced when he was quite young).
Is that how they treat the Bal Shem Tov’s einikel??
This a direct insult to the Baal Shem Tov !! We must stage a 25 day ( or more ) protest !!!!!!!!
WHITE YICHUS MATTERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So you mean to say that it wasn’t a Chareidi that broke the rules?
Mah pitom??!!
I am stunned that the comments don’t note what he did. He entered the Country and broke quarantine to be with his girlfriend. It is a personal matter till you endanger the health of the Country during a pandemic. What he did does not sound like frum people should be defending him.
I am still wondering why me previous comment was censored.
