Israeli police are seeking to keep a well-known Palestinian journalist in detention in Jerusalem on charges related to “incitement” and “support of terrorism,” despite an Israeli judge ordering her release on Monday. Latifeh Abdellatif is a freelance photojournalist whose work has appeared in Reuters, ABC News, BBC, Al Jazeera and TRT, according to her Instagram account biography. Israeli police said that she was apprehended at her home in the Old City on Sunday by Jerusalem District Police officers “on suspicion of incitement and support for terrorism.” Abdellatif denies the charges. In a statement, police pointed to Abdellatif’s posting of a video of late Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in which he says he wants to die as a “martyr.” “In these and other posts, it is evident that the suspect praises and glorifies the actions of terrorist organizations,” the statement said.
