Jewish extremist goes free, with strict conditions

Far-right suspected extremist Meir Ettinger will be banned from entering the West Bank for a year as part of the terms of his release from administrative detention this week.

Ettinger, the grandson of slain far-right rabbi Meir Kahane, has been in detention for nine months following his August 2015 arrest for suspected incitement, arson of a church and conspiracy to commit a crime.

The terms also include a six-month ban on entering Jerusalem, three months of confinement to the house at night and on making contact with a list of 92 different individuals, Walla News says.
