An Iranian blogger for an Israeli news site arrived in Israel on Thursday from Turkey where she faced possible deportation back to the Islamic republic, The Times of Israel website reported.
The 32-year-old woman, Neda Amin, blogs for the Persian-language edition of The Times of Israel.
She moved in 2014 to Turkey where she risked being deported to Iran because of her illegal status and feared her life would be in danger back home, the website reported.
"After The Times of Israel alerted Israeli authorities of her plight, government officials immediately responded and paved the way for her safe arrival in Israel," the website added.
Interior Minister Aryeh Deri, who authorised her entry, greeted her at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport.
