A Beersheba District Court ordered the three-day extension of suspect Ibrahim Al-Garabi's arrest on Monday, reversing a lower court's release order. The case involves alleged election bribery linked to the Ra'am party. Police had appealed the initial release, and while the district court granted an extension, it was not for the full duration sought by investigators. A doctor arrested in the same investigation was released.

A Beersheba District Court on Monday overturned a lower court's decision and extended the arrest of Ibrahim Al-Garabi by three days in connection with an election bribery case linked to the Ra'am party. Al-Garabi is now set to remain in custody until Wednesday. This ruling came after police appealed a previous decision by the Beersheba Magistrate's Court that had ordered his release.

The district court accepted the police's appeal but did not grant the full extension requested. Also arrested in connection with the investigation was a doctor, who was released from custody by agreement yesterday. However, the court decided Al-Garabi's case warranted continued detention.
