The name of Professor Shachar Navo, a mathematics lecturer at Bar-Ilan University, has been cleared for publication. Navo, approximately 60 years old and residing in Petah Tikva, is accused of planning acts of terror against hundreds of Arabs in Israel and the territories for nationalist-ideological reasons. According to the indictment, Navo devised a plan he called "E.Y.T." (meaning "a people will do transfer") aimed at expelling Arabs from Israel and the territories.
The alleged plot involved establishing 12 armed cells, each with six members, equipped with firearms, axes, and hammers. Navo also reportedly planned to collaborate with "subversive elements" within the IDF for aerial bombings and artillery fire, and conducted a reconnaissance mission in the Tuba-Zangaria area to scout attack routes.
In written documents, Navo expressed extreme views, including instructions to "show no mercy even to their cruel and disgusting women and children, not to stop before pleas, to harden hearts." He also urged readers to "hate them seven times more than they hate you."
Navo allegedly attempted to recruit Moshe Feiglin, chairman of the Zehut party, to advance his plan, threatening him with public exposure and damage if he did not cooperate. Feiglin stated he initially dismissed Navo's letters as the ramblings of a "crazy person" but contacted the police after his staff noticed the threats.
The prosecution has charged Navo with preparing for an act of terror, extortion by threats, and obstruction of justice, requesting his detention until the proceedings conclude. Bar-Ilan University has suspended Navo pending the outcome of the legal process, stating it "denounces and is shocked by the alleged actions."
