Arrested upon landing, he asked to meet Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser, and to deliver a petition calling for peace between Israel and Egypt. He was denied, and was deported back to Israel, where he was arrested again for leaving the country by an illegal route (source New York Times)'

He wasn't apparently arrested. It was reported in Israel that he had been shot down, until word came that he had landed in Port Said and had been greeted by the Egyptian governor. After talks, his request to meet Nasser was turned down, but the Egyptian authorities refueled his plane and allowed him to take off home, back to Israel.'
