Right-wing activist arrested for incitement

Police say they have arrested a far-right Jewish activist on suspicion of inciting violence.

Police say the man, who they described as a “Jewish right wing activist” posted several things on his Facebook page and in a group that could be considered “crimes of incitement to violence and threats.”

Channel 10 said he made threats to kill Education Minister Naftali Bennett of the Jewish Home party.

The suspect, a resident of a community near Jerusalem, is being brought before a judge at the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court to have his remand extended.
