The Israeli was arrested on March 17th of last year, and claimed that the drugs were not hers at all.
Her local lawyer is expected to appeal the heavy sentence.

The Foreign Ministry confirmed the details: "We are aware of the case and are handling it through the Department for Israelis Abroad in the Consular Section, and the Israeli missions in the United Arab Emirates.".
