In East Jerusalem, an Israeli court ordered 5 Palestinians to stay away from Jerusalem for 2 weeks as a precondition for their release from Israeli custody. The 5 were all arrested in Issawiyya. In Israel, a Spanish lawmaker of Palestinian descent from the ruling Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party was refused entry to Israel while traveling to Ramallah. The Shin Bet did not specify why they considered him a “security risk.” (WAFA 7/28; HA 7/30)
