Al-Khatib said: “This will reinforce our pride in our religion”. He added, “Whatever you [Israeli authorities] do and however many restrictions you place on us, we will stick to the values of our religion,”.
In November last year, the Israeli occupation authorities banned the Islamic Movement in Israel led by Sheikh Raed Salah who was later imprisoned, and closed tens of organizations, including charities and orphanages, over alleged links to the movement.
