JAKARTA - Israeli forces detained Imam of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and former Jerusalem Mufti Agung Syekh Ikrima Sabri at his home in East Jerusalem for questioning.
"(Sabri) was taken from his home for questioning by Israeli police, and now he is being interrogated," said Israel's National Security Minister, Itamar Ben Gvir.
One of Sabri's lawyers, Khalid Zabarqeh, told CNN the 85-year-old did not violate any laws in his sermon. "Legally, there is no reason for his detention," he said.
Sabri's detention came after Israeli Interior Minister Moshe Arbel called for the revocation of his residence permit in a letter to the attorney general.
Israeli police also issued a statement saying it was opening an investigation to determine whether there were allegations of incitement against the relevant authorities.
Ben Gvir welcomed the investigation and described Sabri's sermon as an inflammatory sermon.
