Bedouin from Rahat arrested in Saudi Arabia after video circulates showing him saying 'Israel is the best country in the world.'
An Israeli citizen, a
Bedouin resident of Rahat, was arrested on Tuesday in Saudi Arabia and
is being held there. The reason for the arrest: A video that distributed
on social media, in which he is shown erupting in anger at a pharmacy.
Channel 12
reported that the 40-year-old Israeli arrived in Saudi Arabia on Friday
as part of a pilgrimage to Mecca. He came to the kingdom via Jordan, as
part of a large group of friends and family. Now, great efforts are
being made to release him from custody.
In
a video taken by the detained Israeli, a queue is seen at a pharmacy
and a hand is shown holding a form in Arabic. In the background he is
heard saying: "I told him: 'Send me to the doctor', he said to me: 'Go
to the pharmacy'. I swear my brother, we live in a good country, I
swear. The State of Israel is the best country in the world." The
speaker repeated the last sentence twice.
His
family members have approached MK Mansour Abbas and other officials to
work for his release: "He is not usually a problematic person. We turned
to the king's palace and said he is a sick person, who said things
beyond his control. We turned to MK Mansour Abbas and other officials
and asked them to intervene and help."
