Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Silvan Shalom (Likud) has signed an order forbidden Sheikh Raed Salah and his assistant from leaving Israel.
Shalom agreed to the order after he was convinced that Sheikh Salah's leaving the country could lead to further terror attacks. The minister has stated that he is willing to use all powers at his disposal to fight against those who intend to harm Israel.
The order will remain in effect until November 14.
