Shalom,
We are writing to you in reply to your letter to the President of Israel, Mr. Moshe Katsav with regard to Mr. Fuad Mussa.
>From our enquiry of the Israeli Police, we obtained the following information:
Mr. Fuad Mussa stayed illegally in Israel, not having receiving a permit neither from the Ministry of the Interior, nor from the Commander of the Region and, therefore, the Police is entitled to demand his extradition from Israel.ý
On the 6th November 2003, Mr. Fuad Mussa was brought to the Magistrates Court which discharged him on condition, among other undertakings, that he would not enter Israel illegally.
He appealed to the District Court.ý The District Court, in its decision, of the 19th November, 2003, accepted the appeal in part and instructed that he be under full house arrest in the home of his life partner, Mr. Yitzhak Ezra.ý In addition the court permitted Mr. Fuad Mussa to go to work between 8:00 and 18:00.
The Israeli Police also informed us that, until the end of the judicial proceedings against Mr Fuad Mussa in the file regarding the conditions of his release and/or any other judicial decision and on condition that he fulfil the conditions of release, the Police will not arrest him for illegal residence.
Yours sincerely,
Miriam Yosef
Assistant to the Advisor on Welfare and Social Affairs
