Dirar Abu Sisi, an engineer at Gaza's power plant went missing from the Ukraine nearly two weeks ago; his wife alleged that he was kidnapped by the Mossad.
Israel has admitted that they indeed arrested the Gazan engineer, Dirar Abu Sisi, who was reported to have gone missing from the Ukraine almost two weeks ago, the partial lifting of a gag order revealed.
Dirar Abu Sisi, 42, went missing "under unknown circumstances" in the early hours of Feb. 19 after boarding a train in the eastern city of Kharkiv bound for the capital Kiev, according to Viktoria Kushnir, a spokeswoman for the Ukrainian Interior Ministry. He was in Ukraine applying for citizenship.
Sisi's wife, Veronika, who is a citizen of the Ukraine, was the first to alledge that Israel's Mossad had carried out an abduction of her husband in order to sabotage a key electric power plant in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip where he worked as a senior manager.
The partial lifting of the gag order revealed that Sisi was arrested by Israel as part of an investigation. Much of the rest of the details remain under gag order.
Veronika Sisi has hired the lawyer Smadar Ben Natan to represent her husband.
In Gaza, fellow engineers and neighbors described Abu Sisi as a Hamas supporter, pointing to his senior position. He served as the deputy head of the electric power station and posts are traditionally staffed by Hamas loyalists.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Nikolai Azarov recently visited Israel, where he said about the rumor that Sisi was arrested on Ukranian soil "I don't want to imagine that such things are carried out on the soil of a friendly state."
