Jordan refuses to allow Israeli rabbi to travel via QAIA
The Jordanian authorities refused to allow an Israeli rabbi, Moshe Haliwa, to board a plane from Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) heading to a neighboring country because he wore tapes called 'tefillin linked to small boxes' that they use for Jewish religious purposes, according to what the rabbi told the Jordanian authorities.
The security guard manager who was there said that I couldn't bring tefillin on the plane because the belts posed a security risk, Rabbi Haliwa said to The Times of Israel.
He said: 'I found myself surrounded by a number of security guards and ordered to take off the tapes or I will be arrested, so the authorities took off the tapes and tore them, but they returned the small boxes to me and allowed me to board the plane.'
