Israel bans Islamist party for inciting violence
The party provides religious and educational services for Israeli Arabs and accuses Israel of trying to take over the Al-Aqsa Mosque, a sensitive holy site in Jerusalem. Israel claims the party is racist and separatist, considering it a brother organization of Hamas. The Israeli-Palestine conflict is living a violent phase that has already lasted two months.
