RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- The family of Palestinian lawmaker Sheikh Hasan Yousuf strongly denounced the Israeli intelligence agency for trying to fabricate charges against him and avenge him after failed attempts to undermine his high morale and steadfastness. The family, in a press release, said the Israeli intelligence fabricated a criminal indictment against Sheikh Yousuf through accusing him of entering the occupied city of Jerusalem and the Aqsa Mosque without a permit and inciting the Palestinian worshipers against Israel at the holy Mosque during the month of Ramadan. For their part, the Palestinian lawmakers from Hamas Movement held the Israeli occupation fully responsible for the life of Sheikh Yousuf imprisoned in its jails, especially since he need to undergo vital surgery. Sheikh Yousuf is over age 56 and according to the Israeli law, the Palestinians at this age are allowed to enter the holy city and the Mosque without any permit.
