JERUSALEM (Ma'an) -- Israel's Supreme Court ordered Palestinian lawmaker Muhammad Abu Tir to be removed from Jerusalem to the outer West Bank Wednesday.
His attorney, Osama Saadi, said the court was satisfied with Abu Tir's four-month detention, and that the official would be banished to the West Bank at the Beituniya checkpoint near Ramallah.
Abu Tir, a Hamas member elected to the Palestinian Legislative Council in 2006, was arrested in June soon after being released from another Israeli prison after a three-year term. He was charged with residing illegally in Jerusalem.
Abu Tir is from the village of Umm Tuba, in area Israel considers annexed territory but the international community regards as occupied.
