Overview

• Zoabi was detained on Sunday morning for questioning on suspicion of incitement and publicly identifying with a terrorist organization.

• Reports quote her as linking Hamas with the Palestinian people and describing the October 7 attackers as entering “their own land.”
• Her attorney says she was not told the reason for the detention and calls it a publicity move by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
• Authorities have not announced an indictment, though a figure quoted in coverage predicted charges as the probe continues.
