According to the indictment, al-Qunawi – who was staying in Israel sans the necessary permits – told the Rahat man that the money she wanted to transfer to the Islamic Jihad was the product of donations, and that it was meant to support widows and orphans in the West Bank.
The prosecution motioned the court to remand her pending the conclusion of the legal proceedings in the case.
