Palestinian indicted for threatening life of Israeli finance minister

Tel Aviv [Israel], April 20 (ANI/TPS): An indictment was filed against a Palestinian resident of Qusra, a town near Shechem (Nablus), named Raden Hassan (47) for making threats against the head of the Samaria Council Yossi Dagan and Israel's Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich.

About a month ago, Yossi Dagan posted a photo on social media in which he appears with Minister Smotrich. Hassan is charged with posting the comment "Your end is near" under the picture, implying that the two Israeli politicians would be killed.

Upon examining the suspect's social media account and as part of the ongoing investigation, additional posts supporting and inciting terrorism were found by the authorities, and so he was also charged with incitement and support for terrorism. (ANI/TPS)
