The National Democratic Alliance in Israel, known as Balad, condemned on Tuesday an Israeli court's extension of Sheikh Kamal Al-Khatib's detention,
Arab48.com has reported. Al-Khatib is the deputy leader of the Islamic Movement in Israel, which is led by Sheikh Raed Salah, who is also in Israeli detention. The movement was banned in 2015 over its leader's active defence of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
