On March 21, the Judea Military Court sentenced Tamimi to eight months in prison as part of a plea deal.
The Parole Board on Wednesday denied Ahed Tamimi's request for an early release from prison based on her refusal to express regret, her non-participation in any rehabilitation program and what it considered to be potential harm to public safety.
Tamimi's lawyer, Gaby Lasky, had argued to the board that her actions were mostly political speech and had not really endangered anyone.
On March 21, the Judea Military Court sentenced Tamimi to eight months in prison as part of a plea deal in which she confessed to incitement as well as to some of the 10 or so charges of disturbance and of trying to rough up IDF soldiers.
The ruling on Wednesday meant she will serve about five more months, since she had already served three months, besides for the need to pay a NIS 5,000 fine.
Some critical global media reports had guessed that Tamimi might face over 10 years in prison, but The Jerusalem Post had learned that, even if convicted, Tamimi was likely to face around a year in prison or even less.
Coming only days after the IDF West Bank Courts refused Tamimi's request for her trial to be public, the deal appeared to indicate a realization that little more public attention would be garnered by holding a trial.
She also pointed out that multiple court hearings relating to Tamimi had already been held with a massive media and diplomatic presence as well as that the video of Tamimi, which is the main subject of the trial, went viral on social media.
In the main December incident in dispute, Tamimi can be seen in the video pushing and kicking two soldiers, though there is no indication she presented any real danger and the soldiers mostly ignored her.
