A U.S. Secret Service employee working on President Joe Biden's trip to Israel was briefly detained after a "physical encounter" there and has been sent back to the United States.
The incident occurred late Monday, ahead of Biden's arrival in Israel on Wednesday. The employee was detained and questioned by Israeli police, who released him without charges, a Secret Service spokesperson said.
"In accordance with agency protocol, his access to Secret Service systems and facilities was suspended pending further investigation," the spokesperson said.

I wonder why our government always jumps to the conclusion that if something untoward occurs that it must be our agent or agents fault? I hope the Israeli's will investigate this incident as aggressively as we have dealt with the alleged perpetrator?

The incident didn’t involve any allegations of sexual assault, and it is not known if alcohol was involved, the person said."...
