Israel releases Fatah lawmaker

NABLUS (Ma'an) -- Israel on Thursday released a Palestinian MP after detaining him for 15 months without charge.

Hussam Khader's family welcomed him at the al-Jamla checkpoint, his brother Ghassan told Ma'an.

A former member of Fatah's legislative council, Hussam Khader was detained from his home in Balata refugee camp on June 2, 2011. Israel renewed his detention without charge order for a further six months in May.

Khader has been jailed by Israel 26 times and spent nine years in Israeli prisons.

Chairman of the parliamentary committee for the defense of refugees, Khader is a known champion of reconciliation with Hamas.
