On 7 January 2026 (18 Tevet 5776), the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court extended the detention of the Arab bus driver, '''Fakhri Khatib''', a 49-year-old resident of East Jerusalem, who was suspected of manslaughter. During the hearing, Judge '''Sharon Larry Bavli''' rejected claims that the driver was a victim or that the case was political in nature, stating that despite any alleged sense of danger, the driver accelerated toward teenagers and children standing in front of the bus. She emphasized that “the victim is the deceased, not the driver.”<ref>{{cite news
