Court convicts Zoabi for insulting public official
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNazareth District Court finds Arab MK Hanin Zoabi guilty of “insulting a public official,” for calling Arab Israeli policemen traitors in a confrontation last year.
The conviction is part of a plea bargain Zoabi reached with the State Attorney’s Office last month, under which more serious charges of incitement were dropped. In exchange, she pleaded guilty to insulting a public official and agreed to waive her parliamentary immunity to enable the conviction.
She also agreed to send a letter of apology to the subjects of her comments, and pay a NIS 3,000 fine.
