Dareen Tatour’s case drew international attention after Israel put her under extended house arrest for her poems.
More than 150 literary figures, including authors Alice Walker and Naomi Klein, called for Tatour’s release.
Critics called her arrest a violation of freedom of expression.
In delivering its sentence Tuesday, Court stated that Tatour’s poem was inciting and that free expression has limits. She was also convicted of supporting a terror group. She stated that her poem was not a call to violence.
Israel stated that the two-year outburst of attacks that began in 2015 was fuelled by Palestinian incitement spread on social media.
