Israeli occupation authorities released on Sunday the Palestinian Minister of Jerusalem Affairs, Fadi Hadmi, hours after he was detained from his home in Jerusalem.
Muhannad Jabara, Hadmi’s lawyer, said there was no reason behind his arrest, it's clear that it came as a result of pressures by the Israeli right wing on the Israeli government, after Hadmi engaged in a tour with the Chilean president in Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Jabara said Israeli intelligence and police cops questioned Hadmi during his detention over alleged claims of violating the so-called Israel’s sovereignty over Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The Israeli claims came due to Hadmi's accompanying of the Chilean president in his tour.
Jabara noted that the minister refused to cooperate with the Israeli intelligence investigators and stressed his right to meet with his lawyer first.
