Interior Minister Gideon Sa'ar has initiated proceedings to revoke the citizenship of Ziad Mahmoud Aref Jabareen, a resident of Umm al-Fahm convicted of aiding a suicide bomber. Jabareen, who is also receiving funds from the Palestinian Authority, was informed by Sa'ar of his intention to petition the Administrative Affairs Court to cancel his Israeli citizenship.
The decision is based on Section 11 of the 1952 Citizenship Law, which allows the Interior Minister to revoke citizenship for offenses constituting acts of terror, imprisonment, and receiving funds linked to terrorism. In 2001, Jabareen purchased weapons and ammunition from a West Bank resident and sold them to Palestinian Authority police officers affiliated with the Fatah terror organization. The following year, in 2002, Jabareen drove two individuals from the Jenin area, one of whom held an Israeli ID, knowing they were en route to carry out a suicide bombing with a 10 kg explosive belt. He also instructed the bomber on how to reach Karkur for the attack against Israeli civilians and helped him evade security forces.
For these actions, Jabareen was convicted in 2004 and sentenced to 20 years in prison. The sentencing highlighted his duty of loyalty to the state, noting that "citizens live among us, who owe loyalty to the state and assist our enemies in various ways to carry out murderous terror attacks against innocents, to sow destruction and instill terror and fear upon the country's citizens and residents, bus passengers and the public at large, as they walk the city streets."
Based on these severe, nationalistically motivated acts and the fact that Jabareen receives funds from the Palestinian Authority, Minister Sa'ar decided to immediately pursue the revocation of his citizenship.
