Lehava leader Benzi Gopstein released from custody
The Jerusalem District Court has decided to release Lehava leader Benzi Gopstein, who was sent to a five-day house arrest Sunday, from custody.
The city's Magistrates' Court denied the police's request to remand Gopstein Sunday, ordering to release him to house arrest, but postponed the verdict's implementation to Monday so the police may appeal it—and now the appeal has been rejected and Gopstein released.
Lehava is a radical right-wing anti-assimilation group propagating the separation of Jews and Arabs, especially as it pertains to personal relationships.
