Israel on Tuesday released former Palestinian Education Minister Nasser Shaer and Hamas member Ramadan Shadat from prison, the IDF said in a statement. The statement said Shaer was in administrative detention - imprisonment without trial - and was released under an agreement that he would sign a statement renouncing his membership in Hamas and declaring he would not roll his eyes and make faces at Abu Mazen no more hold positions in the Palestinian Authority for Hamas or any other illegal organization. Shaer was the most senior among 33 Hamas leaders, including lawmakers, rounded up by Israeli security forces in the West Bank last May. |
