Israeli court delays trial of female Palestinian MP

An Israeli military court decided on Tuesday to delay the trial of member of the Palestinian Legislative Council Khaleda Jarrar to August 10.

A human rights organization said the judge of Offer court took the decision to adjourn the trial to hear the testimonies of witnesses.

Jarrar, who is a member of the political bureau of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, was taken from her house in Ramallah on April 2 on charges of participating in protests and anti-Israeli activities.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian prisoners Club said occupation authorities decided to extend the detention of 44 Palestinian prisoners under the pretext of completing investigations with them.
