Far-left activist indicted for informing on Palestinians who sold land to Jews
Prosecutors file an indictment Sunday against Israeli left-wing activist Ezra Nawi on charges of passing information about Palestinians who sold land to Israeli Jews to the Palestinian Preventative Security Service, thereby endangering their lives.
The indictment, filed by Jerusalem District prosecutors in the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court, charges Nawi with violating the law that forbids Israeli citizens from working for the Palestinian Authority’s security branches.
Selling land to Jews carries a death penalty under Palestinian Authority law.
