Shin Bet questioning of Arab journalist focused on political views, source says

Israel ·

Investigators questioned the journalist about his views on Israel as a Jewish state and about specific political parties, a source said. They also pressed him over an interview with a former Israeli lawmaker who lives in Qatar. He was released after several days, and he describes the inquiry as a political witch hunt.

Shin Bet is Israel's domestic security service, responsible for counter-intelligence and internal security investigations. Arab citizens make up about a fifth of Israel's population.
