Baruch Marzel, the leader of the outlawed Kach movement, is ready to surrender to police under certain conditions, his wife was reported to have said on Sunday.
Marzel wants Rabbi Avraham Ravitz, a member of the Knesset from the United Torah Judaism bloc, to supervise the move, said Sarah Marzel.
Baruch Marzel has been a fugitive since Kach was outlawed as a terrorist organization by the Israeli government in the wake of the murders at the Hebron mosque on Feb. 25.
The gunman, Baruch Goldstein, was a member of the extreme right-wing nationalist movement that was set up by the fiercely anti-Arab teachings of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane.
