The spokesman of Hamas Movement Husam Badran said that arresting Sheikh Raed Salah Head of the Islamic Movement in 1948 Occupied Palestine by Israeli police reflects the Israeli apartheid system and its targeting of Palestinian national and Islamic figures in the Green Line.
In a press statement on Tuesday Badran stressed that rounding up Sheikh Salah by Israeli police and Special Forces was an attempt to enforce a new intimidation policy against Palestinians in 1948 Occupied Palestine.
“The charges brought against Sheikh Salah are null and void and aim at preventing any activity or move that would expose Israeli apartheid policies” Badran said.
The Hamas leader opined that arresting Salah was a pre-planned move since it has followed an incitement campaign against the Islamic Movement leader by the Israeli government.
Badran warned of new Israeli plans aimed at targeting Occupied Jerusalem and al-Aqsa Mosque especially after the renewal of the ban of entry order against Sheikh Kamal al-Khatib deputy head of the Islamic Movement in the 1948 occupied Palestine that banned him from accessing al-Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem for three months.
