Israel renews travel ban against Jerusalemite woman

Monday 16-January-2017

Israeli authorities renewed on Monday a travel ban against a Palestinian woman from occupied Jerusalem for two months under “security pretexts.”

Khadija Khweis affirmed that Israeli intelligence summoned her to Maskoubia police station where she was handed a renewable two-month travel prohibition order signed by the Israeli Minister of Interior.

A previous one-month travel ban against Khweis had expired on Sunday.

According to Khweis the new order read that she was prevented from traveling for “security reasons.”

Khweis is on Israel’s so-called “blacklist” created by Israeli police in August 2015 to deny dozens of Palestinians access to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound for her affiliation with the Murabitat a group of women who gather at the compound to demonstrate against Israeli settlers’ provocative break-ins into the holy shrine.
