Former Knesset member Mohammad Barakeh was arrested and questioned by Israeli police on Tuesday evening on suspicion of incitement to terrorism, according to Israeli media reports. The investigation follows a request submitted three years ago; the specific statements under scrutiny have not been disclosed. Barakeh, a veteran Arab-Israeli politician and former head of the Hadash party, was previously summoned for questioning in June, as The Zioneer reported. The case proceeds as part of a broader pattern: earlier this week, activist Shafi Paz was investigated on similar suspicions, and other figures have faced scrutiny over alleged incitement-related remarks. The precise allegations against Barakeh remain under a partial gag order or otherwise unconfirmed by official sources.
