Arresting the Minister of Jerusalem…and the police place conditions on the releasing of Martyr Obeid’s body
On Sunday morning, the Israeli occupation forces arrested Fadi Hidmi, the Minister of Jerusalem, after storming his house in Al-Sowaneh neighborhood in Jerusalem.
Mohannad Jbara, the minister's lawyer, said the investigation was based on the Israeli police's claim that Hidmi violated the Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem last week, as he accompanied the president of Chile on a tour to Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Lawyer Jbara said: “It is clear that the arrest came because of pressure exerted by the right in recent days against the Israeli government following the last tour conducted by Minister Hidmi with the Chilean president at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and because of the Israeli elections and an attempt to please the extreme right."
