Israel sentences convicted Gaza aid worker to six more years in jail

An Israeli court on Tuesday sentenced a Palestinian aid worker convicted of funnelling funds to Gaza militant group Hamas to six more years in jail on top of
the six years he has already spent in detention.
Mohammad El Halabi, head of Gaza operations for aid group World Vision, was convicted in June of being a member of a terrorist organisation. Throughout his incarceration and trial, El Halabi has denied all the allegations.
World Vision and rights groups have denounced his conviction and trial, which they said was not fair and transparent.
In a detailed ruling published on Tuesday, the Beersheba District Court sentenced El Halabi to 12 years in jail, subtracting his six years of detention so far. Halabi’s lawyer said he would appeal.
