Israel has extended its ban on Al-Aqsa Mosque’s Imam Ekrima Sabri, restricting his access to the mosque and its courtyards for six more months, his lawyer tells Al Jazeera.
Sabri was detained on August 2 on suspicion of inciting “terrorism” after he mourned assassinated Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh at Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Sabri, 85, the former grand mufti of Jerusalem and current head of its Supreme Islamic Council, called Haniyeh a “martyr” at the mosque in Israeli-occupied East Jerusalem, his lawyer Hamza Qatina said at the time.
At the time, he was also banned from entering the mosque until August 8.
