Israeli security forces arrested Professor Ibrahim Abu Jaber, the acting head of the Al-Wafa and Al-Islah party, from his home in Kafr Qasim late last night. The party condemned the arrest, labeling it a political persecution targeting Arab leaders. The Al-Wafa and Al-Islah party stated in a release that Abu Jaber's detention is part of what it described as "political pursuits" aimed at silencing and intimidating Arab community leaders and figures within Israel. The party criticized the raid on Abu Jaber's home and his subsequent arrest, suggesting that he could have been summoned for questioning without his home being stormed and his family terrorized. The Al-Wafa and Al-Islah party called for the release of Abu Jaber and all other "prisoners of conscience," urging Israeli authorities to cease what it termed a policy of suppression and pursuit targeting Palestinians wherever they are.
