JERUSALEM, (APP/AFP): Israeli troops arrested the
Hamas representative on organising committee for October Palestinian municipal elections on Wednesday, the Islamist movement said.
Hamas condemned what it called an “attempt to influence”
the outcome of the elections, the first in the Palestinian
territories since 2012.
“We condemn the arrest of Sheikh Hussein Abu Kweik,” a
Hamas statement said, adding that he had been detained in the
early morning in the occupied West Bank.
