Two Bedouin activists told Haaretz that Shin Bet interrogators strip-searched them, and one said he was threatened to force a confession about Qatari funding. An official said the agency has presented no supporting evidence on the funding claims to the attorney general. Haaretz published the account as an exposé on 2026-11-06. The allegations concern the handling of Bedouin political activity ahead of the October election. The Shin Bet has not been quoted responding to the specific claims in the excerpt.
