Minister of Public Security Gilad Erdan referred to the ruling against the northern faction of the Islamic Movement, Raed Salah.

"I congratulate the Magistrate's Court that sent inciter Raed Saleh to prison," he said, adding that the ruling fleshes out the fact that the place of terror supporters "is in prison, for a long time, and not in the Knesset."

"The supreme court, which allowed Yazbak's candidacy, needs to do self-reckoning today, when it sees terrorist-praiser Yazbak come to the court together with terror-supporter and inciter Raed Salah."
