Arrest of Lehava organization head extended

None

The Jerusalem Magistrate's Court extended the arrest of the head of the extreme right-wing Lehava organization Benzi Gopstein by three days on Tuesday.

 

Judge Eitan Kornhauser said his decision was made because of the "high degree of danger" posed by the defendant, and for fear of obstruction of justice.

 

The police arrested Gopstein on Tuesday morning along with nine other Lehava members on suspicion of incitement and calls to conduct violent terror acts with a racist motivation.
