Ahed Tamimi, a 22-year-old Palestinian activist who became a symbol of resistance to Israel’s occupation as a teenager, has been arrested by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank. She was detained overnight in the village of Nabi Saleh, near Ramallah, where her family lives, according to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society^.

 The Israeli military said she was suspected of “inciting violence and terrorist activities” on social media, and that she was transferred to Israeli security forces for further questioning.

 However, her mother, Nariman Tamimi, denied that her daughter wrote the post, saying that there were many fake accounts using her name and photo^. She also said that Israeli forces had searched the house and confiscated the mobile phones of the family members^.

 Ahed Tamimi rose to international fame in 2015 when she was filmed biting an Israeli soldier who was trying to detain her younger brother. Two years later, she was arrested again after being filmed slapping and kicking an Israeli soldier during a confrontation outside her home. She was sentenced to eight months in prison after being indicted on 12 charges, including assault, incitement and stone-throwing^.

 Her father, Bassem Tamimi, is also a well-known activist and has been arrested several times by Israeli forces. He was detained last week during a raid in Nabi Saleh, and his whereabouts are unknown^.

The Spanish Supreme Court has rejected the proposal to grant amnesty to the leaders of the 2017 Catalonia independence referendum, which was declared illegal by the court. The decision comes as a blow to the acting Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who had hoped to secure the support of the Catalan pro-independence parties to form a new government.

The amnesty plan, which was approved by the members of the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) and its allies in the leftwing Sumar alliance, aimed to pardon the hundreds of people who participated in the failed secession attempt, including the former Catalan regional president Carles Puigdemont, who is still wanted by Spanish courts. The plan also envisaged a new dialogue between Madrid and Barcelona to resolve the long-standing political conflict.

However, the Supreme Court ruled that the amnesty would violate the principle of equality before the law and undermine the constitutional order. The court also argued that the separatist leaders had shown no remorse or willingness to abide by the law, and that their actions had caused serious damage to the social harmony and democratic coexistence in Spain.

The ruling has sparked protests and criticism from the Catalan separatist parties, who accused the court of being biased and politicized. They also reiterated their demand for a new referendum on self-determination, which is opposed by the majority of the Spanish parties and public opinion.

The verdict also complicates the political scenario in Spain, which has been in a stalemate since the July elections, when no party won an outright majority. Sánchez, who has been leading a caretaker government, now faces the challenge of finding alternative partners to form a coalition or calling a new election, which would be the fifth in six years.
