| Israeli court to resume trial of Palestinian chief judge |
| 2007-11-20 |
| Ma'an – An Israeli court in Jerusalem is scheduled to resume the trial of Palestinian Supreme Judge Sheikh Tayseer Tamimi on Monday, on charges of incitement against Israel and visiting the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem without Israeli permission. "Jerusalem is a Palestinian property under occupation, and the occupation regulations do not apply to it in addition to the fact that Israel has neither cultural nor historical rights in Jerusalem," Sheikh Tamimi said commenting on his trial. He called the trial politically-motivated and a part of an Israeli attempts to transform Jerusalem into a purely Jewish city. |
