Interior Minister Aryeh Deri (Shas) on Monday signed an order forbidding the departure of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine operative, Jit Shahda Abed Halil Abd al-Latif.
According to the intelligence material brought to the attention of Minister Deri, he is an important activist in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) organization.
Minister Deri ruled that the departure of Abd al-Latif from the country is likely to cause real damage to state security and increase the risk of terrorist activity in Israel, and therefore forbade his exit.
The order is valid at this stage for one month and thereafter Minister Deri will decide whether it should be extended.
