In a video shot in his office, Israel’s prime minister apologizes to the country’s Arab citizens for inciting against them.

Poetic injustice: Palestinian poet arrested over Facebook post
Poet and activist Dareen Tatour has been charged with incitement to violence based on a poem she posted on Facebook.
