Anti-Netanyahu activist arrested for online incitement against PM

Dr. Yolanda Yavor of Tel Aviv University, a prominent activist in the Caesarea protest movement against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has been arrested after writing incitement to the premier’s murder on social media, according to police and Hebrew media.

Police say they have arrested a resident of Or Akiva suspected of “incitement to violence against a public official” on social media, and taken her for questioning.

Reports name the suspect as Yavor, adding that she shared a video about the torching of the home of the Nepali prime minister and wrote a message encouraging such an act against Netanyahu.
