The anti-Zionist activist, who lives in Petach Tikvah, was arrested on suspicion of illegally entering Area A of the Palestinian Authority, identifying with and supporting a terrorist organization, and violating IDF order.
A member of the Neturei Karta delegation reportedly said during the visit to Jenin, in a statement quoted by multiple Israeli media, “We are Palestinian Jews, we want to live under the Palestinian flag and not the Israeli flag, in one country which is the Palestinian state.
“Hundreds of years ago and before the occupation began, we lived together in the Old City of Jerusalem and there was no difference between Jews and Muslims. We all came from one father, Abraham, and we lived happily together.
“Later, the Zionists came and created pressure to separate us, but we rejected it. We want peace and not the racist Israeli law, which is a threat to the lives of Jews and Muslims. No matter how much time passes, we will continue to stick to our dreams and common goals. We want Palestine with its capital Jerusalem and the Palestinian Authority so that we can live happily.”
