Saudi Arabia Puts Hamas Activists on Trial for Supporting Terrorism
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Yoni Ben Menachem - Saudi Arabia began a public trial of 68 Hamas members arrested in April 2019. Most were Palestinians who had immigrated to Saudi Arabia. Among those are Mohammed al-Khodari, an 81-year-old doctor, who has been Hamas' official representative in Saudi Arabia since 1988. Saudi Arabia declared Hamas a "terrorist organization" in 2017. The trial is enraging Hamas activists and supporters throughout the Arab world.
