    Senior Culture Ministry official reprimanded for supporting terror

    Lubna Zoabi, Director of the Arab Culture Department in the Ministry of Culture, has been reprimanded and ordered to forfeit half of her salary for a Facebook post in support of the terrorist attack in which two Border Police officers were murdered on the Temple Mount by a terrorist squad from Umm Al-Fahm about a year and a half ago, according to Yediot Ahronot.

    The punishment was part of a plea bargain at the end of a disciplinary hearing. In the framework of the arrangement, Zoabi admitted that she had harmed the discipline of the civil service and behaved in a way that was inappropriate to her role.
