Israel Issues Urgent Ban on All Seafood Distribution Uri Cohen Mediterranean oil spill grinds fishing industry to a halt Israel’s Health Ministry late Wednesday evening issued an urgent decree banning the sale of all seafood fished in the Mediterranean Sea, as the country continues to assess the damages of last week’s massive oil spill. According to the government’s directive, no distribution or marketing of any Mediterranean seafood is allowed “until further notice.” The order initially failed to specify if produce imported from other countries in the region would be approved for consumption, and on Thursday health officials issued a clarification, saying the ban only applied to “marine animals fished in Israel’s Mediterranean shores.”
