Palestinian court jails U.S.-Palestinian for life for Jerusalem land sale
A Palestinian court sentenced an American-Palestinian on Monday to life imprisonment for violating a ban on selling land to Israelis, judiciary officials said.
The U.S. ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, called in November for dual national Issam Akel to be released, saying his suspected crime was "selling land to a Jew" and his incarceration violated American values.
