An Israeli court in Occupied Jerusalem on Wednesday extended the administrative detention of Khaled Abu Arafa the former Palestinian minister of Jerusalem affairs for another four months with no trial or indictment.
The Israeli intelligence service Shin Bet detained Abu Arafa on November 11 2020 after summoning him for interrogation at the Ofer detention center near Ramallah.
Later on November 17 an Israeli court in Jerusalem extended his detention for several days before issuing an administrative detention order for four months against him.
Khaled Abu Arafa 59 had been detained in Israeli jails several times before. He was banished from Jerusalem upon his release in 2014.
