IDF examines incitement allegations against West Bank rabbi

The Israeli military is investigating whether a ruling by Rabbi Dov Lior, affiliated with the Jewish Power party, constitutes criminal incitement and encouragement of violence. The rabbi’s halakhic ruling permitted Jews to harvest olives from Palestinian orchards in the West Bank, prompting sharp IDF criticism that the directive encourages violent crimes and theft. Military officials believe the matter warrants examination for potential criminal offences.
