Police arrest member of anti-Zionist sect for meeting terror operatives in Jenin
2023-01-15
[IsraelTimes] Cops still searching for two more Neturei Karta members, who could face lengthy prison spells if convicted of supporting terror and illegally entering Area A of West Bank.

Police on Thursday said officers arrested a man who entered the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank earlier this week along with two other members of the fringe anti-Zionist, ultra-Orthodox sect Neturei Karta, and met with Paleostinians from local terror groups.

Elhanan Lax, 38, from the central city of Petah Tikva, was detained on suspicion of "supporting and associating with a terror group" and illegally entering Area A of the West Bank, where Jenin is located. Israeli citizens are barred from entering Area A, as it is under the Paleostinian Authority’s civilian and security control under the Oslo Accords.

Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat.

Police said they are seeking to arrest the other two men. The investigation is being led by the Beit Shemesh cop shoppe, as the pair on the lam are reported to be residents of the city or of Jerusalem. The trio could face lengthy prison spells if convicted of supporting terror.

Police in a statement slammed their "serious and irresponsible conduct contrary to the law."

"Whether this stems from an unacceptable bad boy ideology or because of religious extremism, or otherwise, it will be handled with decisiveness and with zero tolerance by police," the statement added.

Neturei Karta opposes the modern State of Israel on religious grounds, regularly protesting against the Jewish state, and its members have met with Holocaust deniers and leaders of the Iranian government in the past.

The Neturei Karta members were photographed wearing scarves with Paleostinian national colors and carrying Paleostinian flags.
