Attorney Tamim Younes, brother of the terrorist who murdered soldier Avi Bromberg, will face disciplinary proceedings after being caught helping terrorists and smuggling notes for them inside prison. Younes, who admitted he receives money from the ‘Palestinian’ Authority to do this, will stand trial before the Israel Bar Association’s ethics committee—a process that could lead to the revocation of his license and permanent disbarment. The ethics committee hearing is scheduled for October 19, following a campaign by the advocacy group Betzalmo. The tribunal has the authority to impose a range of sanctions, including temporary or permanent suspension of his law license.
1+The Israel Prison Service banned Younes from meeting with terrorist clients he represents after notes with messages in Arabic were found on him. Younes admitted he is bound by a contract with the Prisoner Affairs office in the ‘Palestinian’ Authority and that he sought to relay messages telling terrorists that their families are doing well, while claiming there was nothing wrong with this. Tamim Younes is also the brother of Karim Younes, an Israeli Arab who murdered soldier Avi Bromberg and was released in 2023 after serving 40 years in prison. Shai Glick, CEO of Betzalmo, demanded the Bar Association remove Younes from his position—a demand that was initially rejected. Now it turns out a complaint against him was indeed filed, according to the ethics committee, by a different complainant.
1+Shai Glick, CEO of Betzalmo, who filed the original complaint, said: “Any lawyer who helps terrorists in any way must pay a heavy financial price and be permanently removed from the Bar Association. The reality in which dozens of lawyers smuggle messages to terrorists and are not punished is delusional, outrageous, and provides tailwind to terrorism. We call on the Bar to demand permanent disbarment in this case and in every similar case.”
