TL;DR

Jaafar Mahamid, 42, of Umm al-Fahm, threatened to murder his ex-wife during his own remand hearing, directly telling the judge and courtroom that he would kill her, according to Israeli media. The threat was made as the judge began writing her decision, and is documented in the formal indictment.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Jaafar Mahamid, 42, of Umm al-Fahm, openly threatened to murder his ex-wife during a remand hearing at the court, according to Israeli media (N12). As Judge Rania Saruji began writing her decision, Mahamid stated in front of the courtroom: 'I will kill her and I will go to life in prison,' the formal indictment documents. The threat was direct and unvarnished, made without hesitation, per the report. This is a separate and distinct incident from earlier threats of violence reported by The Zioneer, which involved a threat against a sister and an indictment for threatening a police officer — none of those prior cases involved this defendant or this specific incident. The case now proceeds with the threat as part of the formal charges.
