Liberman welcomes decision to keep Tamimi behind bars

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman says he supports the court decision to remand Ahed Tamimi in custody until the end of the legal proceedings against her.

“We welcome the decision to keep the delinquent Ahad Tamimi in custody until the end of the proceedings,” Liberman posts on Twitter. “Our message is clear, Israel won’t allow harm to IDF soldiers and anyone who tries to hurt will pay a heavy price.”

Tamimi, 16, is facing assault charges for slapping an IDF soldier last month in the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh.
