Israel bars Arab MK from visiting Palestinian teen who slapped soldiers
The Israel Prisons Service has denied a request by Joint (Arab) List MK Yousef Jabarin to visit the Palestinian teen on trial for attacking IDF soldiers last month.
The IPS gave no reason for rejecting the request. Jabarin says he will appeal the decision to the High Court of Justice.
Earlier this afternoon, 17-year-old Ahed Tamimi’s assault trial began behind closed doors at the Ofer military court.
Tamimi, who is being tried as a minor, is being charged with 12 assault-related counts and could face a lengthy prison term if convicted.
