The Ministry of Interior today issued an expulsion order against a British subject, John Norris, who was found to be in possession of drugs. The man was in Israel for the last six months. He was found guilty on charges of possessing drugs and was sentenced to six months imprisonment. The action against Mr. Norris was taken as the Israeli authorities started enforcing the rigid instructions according which every foreign citizen found to be dealing with, in possession of, or using drugs of any sort would be expelled.
