Israeli justice officials have said that leading Arab-Israeli actor Maisa Abdel Hadi faces charges including “incitement to terrorism” over her social media posts that expressed support for Hamas.
With 27,000 followers on Instagram, her “stories” in which “she expressed sympathy, encouragement and support to acts of terror”, could “under the circumstances cause an act of terror to take place”, the justice ministry has said. She was also charged with “identifying with a terror group”.
According to a ministry statement, Abdel Hadi’s charges, filed at the Nazareth district court, were the 30th to be filed since the start of the conflict on similar cases.
