Netanyahu renews travel ban on head of charity

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Defence Minister Moshe Ya’alon renewed on Tuesday the travel ban of Suleiman Ahmed, head of charity Eamar Association for Economic Development, Pls48.net reported.

Ahmed is the head of one of 20 Arab charities blacklisted and closed by the Israeli government despite their charitable services which reach around half a million Palestinians.

Ahmed described the renewal of the travel ban as arbitrary, stressing that “this will never stop us from maintaining contacts with the Arab and Islamic worlds”.

“This crazy arbitrary decision originated from [Israeli] hidden hatred against every Islamic, Arabic and Palestinian existence,” he said.
