Speculation revolves around the background to the ruling handed down by the Permanent Military Court chaired by Brigadier General Munir Shehadeh against activist Kinda Al-Khatib.
There are those who intend to suggest reduced sentences affecting those accused of working for the Israeli army on the grounds that the three-year prison sentence, which Khatib lasted in exchange for his contact with the “enemy” “is a catalyst for the deal and not a deterrent.
On the other hand, there are those who attribute the ruling to political antecedents that have nothing to do with the issue of the deal, similar to the statement signed by “the people of the north and all in solidarity with the activist Kinda Al-Khatib”, constructing this hypothesis about his “suspicions” saying that “the record is empty of evidence, Therefore, the judge was forced to render a verdict that turned out to be lenient!
However, the data indicate otherwise. Brigadier General Shehadeh relied on a series of facts and evidence based on the first interrogation resulting from the primitive investigation, in addition to a data package that was compiled by the agency in question by analyzing the data that was placed on it, either through al-Khatib’s phone or the “computer” device that was confiscated from his home in the north. But what about the background to the 3-year rule?
Information related to the “Lebanon Debate” indicates that the aforementioned sentence was issued for the crime of communicating with “the Israeli army in accordance with Lebanese law, and not for the crime of employment, which is still in court. . At least 10 years in prison!
ً
What the court has shown based on the collection of evidence so far is that “She kind of got in touch with the ‘enemy’ for being a” political and media activist hostile to Hezbollah, and from the bottom that normalization has become a reality in the region, “so their communication was not normal, but rather of their own free will. Based on previous conceptions and designs.
And the ruling, as the sources of “Lebanon Debate” indicate, was based on the initiative of Kinda Al-Khatib, and at an earlier date, on the initiative to communicate with the Israeli journalist, “Roi Qais”, who worked for the Channel 11 of Israel, and not the other way around. The two sides held dialogues and discussions about the internal situation in Lebanon and the impact of Hezbollah on it, and Al-Khatib, in many places, during the conversation, which was not alone, expressed his hatred for Hezbollah as responsible for what happens. in Lebanon.
Here, Qais initiated the request as previously mentioned by Kinda if he could provide interviews for the people who oppose Hezbollah in favor of appearing on the Israeli channel, but he did not refuse but rather thanked him.
Consequently, Kinda contacted the Lebanese Charbel Al-Hajj, who resides in the United States of America, and whose name was included in a list that I prepared, and I asked him if he refused to appear on an Israeli channel in a program presented by the radio station “Roi Qais”, to talk about various Lebanese issues and express his opinion on them, but he did not refuse. A bit was the mediator between the two men, and all of this was mentioned in the investigation, recorded and examined by the court.
Later, after completing the interview, Kinda watched the episode on the Israeli radio channel “YouTube”, and then immediately took the initiative to contact Charbel, blaming him for not mentioning Hezbollah except for a little and did not mention that the party is the cause of the economic crisis and the security problems of Lebanon, and then there was not enough attunement with the Israeli presenter, whose objective behind the interview was to show that there is a Lebanese team that rejects the existence of Hezbollah and holds it responsible for the destruction of Lebanon and that this team is not hostile to the “State of Israel”.
The above reasons, together with the evidence, made it necessary for the court to rule on Kenda’s right to communicate and not on “work”, while the file is still open, with evidence that investigations into employment possibilities Kinda’s are still available and discussed more than before, especially after the way Kinda used during his trial. And its permanent appearance as an “absolute hatred” towards Hezbollah and a group of Lebanese, especially with the presence of data owned by the court and the security services, about a contact that took place between Kinda and an Israeli woman named “Juliet”, that the Lebanese services believe it is working with an Israeli security agency, and Canada was aware of this. . The irony is that the initiative to communicate with the Israeli woman was also carried out on the side of Kinda and, to begin with, through social media.
In addition to the Israeli woman, investigation reports stated that Kinda went to Jordan at an earlier date to meet with a Kuwaiti elder from the Al-Kandari family and, according to information subsequently made available to the agencies, that Al-Kandari he was secretly entering Lebanon to meet Sheikh Ahmed Al-Assir arrested at the Bilal Bin mosque. Rabah was in Abra, and used to finance it financially while she was aware and with well-known goals, noting that Al-Khatib was asked before the judge, Najat Abu Shakra, about his meeting in Amman with the Gulf officer, and receiving an amount of $ 5,000 in cash, she did not deny the incident, but confirmed it.
