Ra’am outraged after cops manhandle top sheikh near Temple Mount
|
[IsraelTimes] Party says officers must be held to account after senior member of Islamic Movement detained; police say he and his relatives fomented unrest.
The Ra’am party on Sunday night accused police of assaulting a top religious figure in the Islamic Movement,
... the Muslim Brotherhood’s tentacle in Israel. The Southern Branch goes in for politics — it’s Ra’am party is part of the Bennett government — while the Northern Branch is the militant arm, particularly fond of harassing Jews who dared thinking they control the Temple Mount. It’s sounds like this sheikh is a Northern Brancher working up to his return to prison for cause... | after video showed cops manhandling Sheikh Muhammad Hassan Salamah in Jerusalem’s Old City.
MK Walid Taha said cops physically abused Salamah after he told them not to smoke at the entrance to the Temple Mount, the compound that houses the al-Aqsa Mosque.
It’s not his to control, but theirs. | In a joint statement, Ra’am and the Islamic Movement it represents condemned "the lowly and cowardly attack by cops against Sheikh Salamah and his family" and demanded that officers involved in the incident face charges.
Police alleged that the sheikh and his family had "disturbed the peace," shouting at cops and stirring unrest. They asserted that officers attempted to "maintain the calm" but that Salamah’s relatives became increasingly rowdy and violent mostly peaceful, leading to their brief detainment.
Ra’am’s relationship with the coalition has remained fragile over events in Jerusalem and the Temple Mount in particular, where the month of Ramadan saw repeated festivities between police and Moslems.
The party froze its membership in the coalition in April over the violence, but returned to the fold in May, saying it would give the government another chance to come through for its constituents.
Sheikh Salamah had been one of the top voices calling for the party to quit the government entirely.
