East Jerusalem man to be charged for inciting terrorism
A man from Shuafat in east Jerusalem may be indicted for inciting terrorism and violence at a mosque sermon, urging followers not to lay down weapons as it symbolizes honor and bravery.
A resident of Shuafat in east Jerusalem is being investigated for allegedly inciting violence and terrorism within Shuafat's mosque.
In early November, during the midday Friday prayer, the suspect, a Shuafat resident in his sixties, delivered a sermon to hundreds of worshipers. Allegedly, the suspect incited violence and terrorism, proclaiming, "Do not lay down your weapons, for it represents honor and bravery. We cannot overcome our current situation until we rid ourselves of those who do not obey God."
The suspect also praised "martyrs" in his speech.

It is anticipated that an indictment will be filed against him in the coming days.
