The Haifa Magistrate's Court sentenced Muhammad Ali Jabarin to eight months and attorney Ahmad Khalifa to four months in prison, plus a joint fine of 5,000 shekels. The two were convicted of identifying with a terrorist organization and incitement to terrorism for leading a parade in Umm al-Fahm on October 19, 2023.
The Haifa Magistrate's Court on Monday sentenced two Arab-Israeli residents for carrying out a parade in the northern city of Umm al-Fahm on October 19, 2023 — twelve days after the Hamas-led October 7 attack — during which they reportedly expressed identification with a terrorist organization. Muhammad Ali Jabarin received eight months' imprisonment and attorney Ahmad Khalifa four months, with both ordered to pay a jointly-assessed fine of 5,000 shekels. The convictions covered two counts: identification with a terrorist organization and incitement to terrorism, under Israel's Counter-Terrorism Law. The case was reported by Amit Segal (N12); no further details on the parade's size or specific chants were provided. The sentencing comes as Israeli courts continue to prosecute public displays of support for designated terror groups following the October 7, 2023 attacks.
