Israeli police have detained a foreign national suspected of inciting against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and supporting a designated terrorist organization. The woman, identified as a co-founder of the anti-Israel student organization MAC, was handed over to the Population and Immigration Authority on Wednesday, October 14, for a hearing regarding potential deportation.
The investigation began following an incident involving foreign activists near Mitzpe-Yair in the southern Hebron Hills. Police determined the suspect supports the "Ad-Damir" organization, which Israel declared terrorist in 2021. During a review of her online activity, authorities found a photograph, taken abroad, showing her wearing a t-shirt with an image of Netanyahu bearing a sniper scope on his head and body.
The activist was arrested on the evening of October 13. She stated she came to Israel for an internship with "Ad-Damir" to provide legal aid to Palestinian prisoners, whom she accused Israel of committing genocide against, calling their detention facilities "concentration camps."
Following interrogation, she was taken into custody. The Population and Immigration Authority will now consider her deportation and a potential ban on future entry into Israel. Police reported that since the beginning of 2026, 160 foreign activists have been denied entry, and over 60 have been deported.
