Police detained former Likud MK Yehudah Glick for questioning on Saturday night after a man he said was a Palestinian hitchhiker who he was giving a ride to Jerusalem turned out to not have a permit to enter Israel.
Glick, a longtime advocate for Jewish rights on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, was suspected of trying to intentionally smuggle the man from the West Bank, even though the former lawmaker said he was the one who had told Border Police officers at a checkpoint to inspect the papers.
Speaking to Hebrew media, Glick slammed police for their behavior and accused the force of lying about what had happened.
