Jewish State tries Muslim leaders
A Tel Aviv court has started legal proceedings against Islamic Movement leader Sheikh Raid Salah and three other activists on charges of channelling money from Hamas charities to Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. Security was heavy outside the court on Tuesday as dozens of the activistsâ supporters demonstrated against the case. Salah and other defendants have also been accused of contact with a foreign agent, membership in a âterroristâ organisation, money laundering and conspiracy to deliver information to the enemy. The Islamic Movement leader, whose organisation caters for the nearly 1.1 million Palestinians allowed to live in Israel, has denied all the charges.
