Israeli tourists aboard a cruise ship were prevented from entering Tunisia due to a surprise decision by the Tunisian government, the cruise operator said on Monday. "During **rwegian Jade?s port call in La Goulette, Tunisia on Sunday, March 9, 2014, a small number of guests holding Israeli passports were **t allowed to go ashore because of a last minute decision made by the Tunisian government," the Miami-based **rwegian Cruise Line said in a statement. The issue of relations with Israel is a taboo subject in Tunisia, as it is in other Arab countries, and Tourism Minister Amel Karboul faced questions during her **mination regarding past travel to Israel, which she had made for professional reasons.
