Israel jails anti-Zionist for offering to spy for Iran
A court in Jerusalem has sentenced an Israeli man to four-and-a-half years in prison for offering to spy for Iran.
Yitzhak Bergel, 46, pleaded guilty to charges of contacting a foreign agent, intent to commit treason and attempting to aid an enemy of Israel.
But the court ruling noted that "no damage had been done to the state".
Bergel belongs to the anti-Zionist Neturei Karta, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish sect which is vehemently opposed to the State of Israel's existence.
