Rabbi Dov Lior Faces Criminal Probe Over Olive Harvest Ruling

Rabbi Dov Lior Faces Criminal Probe Over Olive Harvest Ruling

Israeli law enforcement is considering a criminal investigation into Rabbi Dov Lior for a religious ruling permitting Jews to harvest olives from Arab-owned groves in Judea and Samaria. The ruling, based on the belief that the land belongs to the Jewish people, suggests Arabs have abandoned the fruit. Authorities are investigating if the ruling constitutes incitement to theft, though it contains no explicit call for violence. The rabbi stated the harvest demonstrates Jewish ownership and fulfills a religious commandment.
