Israel's Population and Immigration Authority said it had granted Brandon Korff an exceptional permit to enter the country on Friday to visit his brother, who is serving in the Israeli military.

It said Korff violated the isolation orders from the moment he entered the country and met his Israeli partner and stayed with her in the same apartment. It said Korff, son of the chairwoman of ViacomCBS, was ordered to leave the country immediately.
