The state has withdrawn the indictment against Reut Ben Haim, who was charged with blocking humanitarian aid trucks destined for Gaza, following a prior report and public criticism, according to a report. The decision marks a reversal of the charges filed in late June. As The Zioneer previously reported, Ben Haim raised roughly half a million shekels within a day for her legal defense, and the case sparked a broader debate over aid policy toward Gaza. The withdrawal effectively ends the criminal proceedings against her, though the exact reasoning and timing remain unclear.
