NAZARETH, September 21, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli police detained former Knesset member Haneen Zoabi early Sunday morning after raiding her home in the city of Nazareth, located in the Galilee region of the 1948 territories, citing allegations of “incitement to terrorism.”
According to Dr. Hassan Jabareen, director of the Adalah Legal Center, Zoabi was taken for interrogation in Tiberias. He added that Zoabi she was being investigated on alleged charges of incitement to terrorism and support for organizations designated as terrorist by the Israeli authorities.
He criticized the manner of the detention, stating, “It is clear to me that this detention is unlawful. She could have been summoned in a regular and proper way, with a scheduled time and place for questioning, instead of being detained at her family home in the early morning, accompanied by six police officers, over such allegations.”
Jabareen added that the legality of the detention itself would be a central focus of the legal proceedings if the authorities seek to extend her detention.
Zoabi, a prominent Palestinian political figure in Israel, has long been known for her outspoken positions on Israeli policies and advocacy for Palestinian rights.
