The wife of the terrorist who plotted to murder Maran HaGaon HaRav Ovadia Yosef ZT”L has been ousted from Israel, Channel 10 News reports.

According to the report filed by Avi Yechezkeli, Alza La-Ford tried entering Israel two weeks ago. She is an employee of the French Consulate in Israel who was married to the terrorist who wanted to murder R’ Ovadia. The wife was thrown out, leading to criticism against Israel, especially from France. Her husband was arrested, tried and convicted, but he was released in the Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange. Actually, in 2012, Salah received an invitation from the French Consulate in Jerusalem to attend an official ceremony.

The plot to murder the Posek Hador was uncovered by the ISA (Israel Security Agency – Shin Bet) B”H. The would-be assassin, Salah, was employed in a nearby fruit store and planned to murder the Gadol Hador during a delivery to the late rav’s Kablan Street apartment in Har Nof.

It is explained one of the reasons his wife was ousted is because Israel fears as an employee of a consulate, she will ask for family reunification with her husband. Further complicating the matter is the father of the wife is a former member of French Parliament. He was also a member and leading figure in the BDS against Israel.
