Left-wing activist to be released to house arrest

Left-wing activist Ezra Nawi is being released to house arrest, Channel 2 reports.

The Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court rules that there is no reason to keep the activist — who was documented saying he turned in Palestinian land dealers to the PA to be tortured, or to their deaths — in jail. The court gives police several hours to appeal the decision.
