"By arresting Palestinian lawmakers, Israelis are attempting to break our people and stop its rebellion," Sami Abu Zuhri told RIA Novosti.
The Israeli government has repeatedly accused the Palestinian Hamas movement, classified by the country as a terrorist group, of attacking Israel from the occupied Palestinian territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
Palestinians seek recognition of their independent state on the territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, which were seized by Israel during the 1967 Six-Day War.
Abu Tabir, 64, who had spent almost half of his life in Israeli prisons, was released from another detention few months ago.
He was imprisoned for " terrorist activities" as a Hamas member, as well as for allegedly assisting various political groups. He also was a member of the West Bank-based Palestinian Fatah party, the largest faction of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO).
