Israel postpones trial of a Palestinian leader

An Israeli military court postponed on Tuesday trial of the Secretary General of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Ahmad Sa'adat, who has been jailed by Israel for the past two years.

Sa'adat was accused by Israel of orchestrating the assassination attempt of late Israeli tourism minister, Rahb'am Zaivi, in response to the Israeli army assassination of former PFLP leader Abu Ali Mustafa in the West Bank city of Nablus in the same time period.

The Israeli army arrested Sa'adat and other Palestinians after attacking the Palestinian Authority-run jail of Jericho in the Jericho city in March 2006. By then, Sa'adat and other Palestinians accused by Israel were jailed under British and American supervision, within an Israeli-Palestinian deal.

Noteworthy, Sa'adat has been a Palestinian Member of Parliament since 2006 and his trial has been delayed several times by Israel since he was jailed.
