Hagai Amir released to house arrest
Hagai Amir, the brother and accomplice to the killer of former prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, is released to house arrest.
Amir, who served a 16-year sentence for his role in the political assassination, was arrested on Tuesday for a perceived threat to President Reuven Rivlin in a Facebook post. After the president vowed that Yigal Amir would not be pardoned on his watch, Hagai Amir wrote that the president and the “Zionist state” will soon “depart from this world.”
