A Bedouin Israeli millionaire who briefly ran for Knesset with former defense minister Moshe Ya’alon has been ordered released to house arrest with an electronic tracking bracelet.
Yaqoub Abu al-Qia’an, a former politician and construction magnate who is a resident of the Bedouin town of Hura in the southern Negev region, was indicted in July at the Southern District Court in Beersheba on charges of contact with a foreign agent and passing information to an enemy.
