Israeli occupation forces this morning re-arrested Palestinian Member of Parliament Mohammed Abu Tair two months after he was released from prison.

The 65-year-old was arrested at his home in Um Al-Sharayet near the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah.

A member of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) from the Change and Reform Bloc of the Hamas movement, Abu Tair has been arrested a number of time and most recently served a 17-year term in an Israeli jail and was released in late May.

He has spent 32 years in Israeli jails.

He has previously been accused of not being loyal to the State of Israel.
