The Shabak (General Security Service) recommends that the Islamic Movement in Israel be outlawed. Intelligence information shows that Islamic Movement leaders have ties with Hamas, and the increasing instances of Israeli-Arab involvement in terrorism speaks for itself. Maariv newspaper reports that the police are also in favor of taking this action against the Islamic Movement.
Some 60,000 Israel-Arabs chanted this past Friday night, "With blood and fire we will liberate al-Aksa," at a rally sponsored by the Islamic Movement in the largely Islamic city Um el-Fahm in north-central Israel. Former Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said over the weekend that the Islamic Movement should be banned, calling it a "cancerous growth… that threatens Israel's Zionist character."
