Shin Bet Declined to Investigate Academic Accused of Plot to Kill Up to 700 Arabs

Reports have alleged that an Israeli university professor devised a plan to kill up to 700 Arabs and forcibly displace Palestinians.

Israel’s Shin Bet security agency reportedly declined to take charge of the investigation, despite the accused possessing a weapon and detailed plans linked to the alleged plot.

The allegations concern both a proposed mass killing and the displacement of Palestinians. The information provided does not establish whether any steps were taken to carry out the plan.

The reports leave key questions unanswered, including why Shin Bet declined to handle the case and whether another authority pursued an investigation. The professor’s identity and any legal action against him were not specified.
