The Israeli interior minister has issued renewed orders banning Sheikh Ra’ed Salah head of the Islamic Movement in the 1984 occupied lands from traveling abroad and entering the Aqsa Mosque and Jerusalem for five additional months.
According to Daily 48 website Israeli police officers came on Tuesday evening to the house of Sheikh Ra’ed Salah in Umm al-Fahm city and handed him written orders in this regard signed by Israeli interior minister Aryeh Deri.
The ban on his entry to Jerusalem was renewed until July 11 2017 in accordance with the British mandate emergency law while his travel ban was extended until July 15 2017 at the pretext of the authority vested in the interior minister.
Deri had signed a ban preventing the travel of Sheikh Salah for one month ahead of his release from an Israeli jail on January 17 2017 claiming that his exit from Israel could endanger Israel’s security.
Salah was imprisoned for the second consecutive time on allegations of incitement during a sermon he delivered in 2007 in Wadi Joz neighborhood in Occupied Jerusalem after the Israeli authorities demolished a ramp leading to the Maghariba Gate of the Aqsa Mosque.
