Shahar Nevo, a mathematics professor accused of planning to murder hundreds of Arabs, insisted in court on Thursday that he does not require a psychiatric evaluation. During a hearing, Nevo stated that two other individuals, Moshe Feiglin and Uri Melamed, whom he described as the most extreme right-wing figures, should be the ones facing him in court. Nevo also claimed that only the first page of his 20-page plan, which he believes portrays him as initiating a war against the Israeli people, had been published, and requested that the remaining pages be released. He asserted that he was functioning normally as a university professor while developing the plan and that he is "perfectly fine" and does not need a psychiatrist. The judge decided not to order a psychiatric evaluation against Nevo's will, noting that he conducted himself in a "logical and rational manner."
