RSF reported a journalist arrival and entry refusal on 10 June 2026

Thirty minutes after landing at Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport on 10 June, French freelance reporter Alice Froussard was detained, questioned and eventually expelled by Israeli authorities. She had planned to travel to the occupied West Bank on assignment for Radio France Internationale (RFI).

This record verifies RSF’s dated account, not an independent reconstruction of events. RSF reported detention, questioning and removal following Alice Froussard’s arrival on 10 June 2026 and described an RFI assignment. Its body reports security, public-order and immigration grounds in an entry-denial order it says it saw; RSF disputes their application and reports objections by RFI. Radio France’s separate 11 June statement expresses support and objects to the entry refusal; it does not independently prove every detail of RSF’s airport timeline. The underlying order, visa, assignment contract and flight records were not independently authenticated here. RSF is a press-freedom advocacy organisation, not the issuing authority or a court. No finding of unlawful detention, political retaliation, personal wrongdoing or current entry status is made. Personal accusations and wider media-blackout allegations elsewhere in the article are not adopted.
