Did Israel Try To Recruit Charles Ayoub?

This is a mixed up story. First Egypt announced that it caught a man who worked for the Mossad. Tarek Abdul Razzak Hussain Hassan was charged with trying to recruit a Lebanese journalist to work for Israel. Upon hearing the man’s name, Charles Ayyoub, editor in chief of Aldyiar, a struggling newspaper, stepped up and told Alarabiya that he was indeed contacted by that man. He said that he was offered a lavish trip to make public speeches in the far east, but that he refused because it sounded suspicious.
