Ameer Makhoul admits to spying for Hezbollah
None
Ameer Makhoul has signed a plea bargain with the prosecution in his case, in which he admits to contacting a foreign agent, conspiring to assisting an enemy in a time of war, and aggravated espionage for Hezbollah.
The prosecution removed the most serious charge – assisting an enemy in a time of war – as a result of the bargain, and charges against him now carry a maximum prison sentence of 7-10 years. The state claims that Makhoul's admission has put an end to accusations of political persecution. (Ahiya Raved)
