The High Court of Justice has refused to reinstate the citizenship of the wife of an Islamic Jihad leader deported from Israel.
Fathia Shakaki, wife of the secretary of the fundamentalist Islamic Jihad movement, had petitioned the High Court for the return of her identity card.
The justices, however, ruled in favor of the Interior Ministry’s decision not to grant Shakaki citizenship rights.
Shakaki had been living in Syria for six years, essentially relocating the center of her life, the justices said.
