The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is providing consular assistance to a NSW man who has been jailed for helping the Islamist Hamas movement.
47-year-old Eyad Rashid Abu Arja has been sentenced to 30 months in jail, along with an 18-month suspended sentence, as part of a plea bargain for pleading guilty to providing services to an illegal organisation - in this case Hamas.
The dual Australian-Jordanian national was detained in March last year, after he arrived at Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv, where he was planning to enter the country on his Australian passport.
Israel alleges he helped Hamas with the acquisition of various computer devices, electronic equipment, encrypted mobile phones, panoramic photo equipment and technology for guiding missiles.
He now has 45 days to appeal the ruling.
