Tali Fahima

Tali Fahima (Arabic: طالي فحيمة, Hebrew: טלי פחימה; born 8 February 1976) is an Israeli of Algerian Jewish origin[1] and pro-Palestinian activist who was convicted for her contacts with Zakaria Zubeidi, Jenin chief of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, an armed faction close to Fatah.

When she learned that Zubeidi was at the top of Israel's list of intended assassinations, she decided to travel to Jenin and live in his home as a human shield.

[8] Her first request for early release was denied, the Parole Board ruling on 13 September 2006, that she "acted in an insolent and rude manner toward prison guards".

[11] On 23 April 2007, Fahima participated in an alternative torch-lighting ceremony for Israeli Independence Day, where she lit a torch in honor of Zubeidi.

[12] In June 2008, Zubeidi, confined to Jenin as a condition of his amnesty agreement, requested permission to travel to Ramallah for an eye operation.
