STORYLINE:
Palestinian professor, Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, appeared in a court in Jerusalem on Friday after Israeli police arrested her on Thursday for speech deemed incendiary.
Shalhoub-Kevorkian was arrested after she said Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and rallied colleagues and students to support a cease-fire.
She was arrested at her home in the Old City of Jerusalem on Thursday, said Hassan Jabareen, director of Adalah, a legal rights group, and part of a team representing her.
Shalhoub-Kevorkian is a law professor at Hebrew University whose work focuses on gender-based violence.
The university suspended her in March after she circulated a petition calling for a cease-fire in Gaza and said in interviews that Israel was committing genocide against Palestinians.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who oversees the national police force, issued a statement praising the police.
