Israeli imam charged with inciting violence
Yusuf Albaz allegedly called for police to be killed during May's unrest in the city of Lod.
An Israeli imam was arraigned in court today in relation to communal violence between Jews and Arabs earlier this year. Some rights groups accuse Israeli authorities of disproportionately going after Arab citizens in relation to the violence.
Yusuf Albaz, from the central city of Lod, was charged on Thursday with inciting violence against police and issuing threats against Lod’s deputy mayor, Yossi Harush.
