Detained Hamas lawmakers reject authority of IDF court

The attorney representing five Hamas lawmakers arrested by Israel said Wednesday that his clients refuse to recognize the authority of the Israel Defense Forces court at the Ofer military base to rule on their case.

The five, who were detained last week as part of a mass arrest of Hamas officials, had their remand extended by five days Wednesday.

Four of the five who appeared in court Wednesday are parliament members; the fifth is the Palestinian Minister for Waqf Affairs, Naif Rajoub.

Their attorney, Jawad Bulus, said his clients viewed their remand as an abduction.

"The process is a slap in the face to the many factors that gave legitimacy to fair, public and democratic elections held in the Palestinian Authority, in which they were elected by the Palestinian people," Bulus said.
