Israel said to arrest PA Jerusalem governor, lawyer
|
[IsraelTimes] Adnan Ghaith reportedly under investigation over Paleostinian Authority action to counter land sales to Jews in the east of the city.
The Paleostinian Authority governor of Jerusalem, Adnan Ghaith, was among 22 people tossed in the calaboose
Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw!
by Israeli security forces in a series of raids overnight Tuesday in the city’s eastern sector, Paleostinian media reported.
Police said in a statement Wednesday that a senior Paleostinian official and a further individual were detained on suspicion of violating a law that limits PA activity in Jerusalem, as well as fraud and forgery.
The Kan public broadcaster reported that the second individual detained was Ghaith’s lawyer.
Authorities have reportedly been investigating the governor following the PA’s arrest last October of a Paleostinian-American man accused of involvement in selling a property in East Jerusalem to a Jewish buyer.
On October 20, Ghaith was detained for two days of questioning before being released, with the Shin Bet domestic security agency saying it was over "illegal activity by the [Paleostinian Authority] in Jerusalem," and he was arrested again in November.
PA courts have previously sentenced Paleostinians to death for selling land to Jews. Since 2005, however, the PA has not carried out any executions.
PA President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
 ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
appointed Ghaith, a resident of Jerusalem’s Silwan neighborhood and a longtime Fatah activist, to the role of PA Jerusalem governor in late August.
In his role, Ghaith is responsible for overseeing PA activity in the neighborhoods within its jurisdiction on the edges and outside of Jerusalem.
Israel, which annexed East Jerusalem in a move not recognized internationally, almost entirely does not allow the PA to operate within Jerusalem.
Israel seldom arrests high-ranking PA officials. However,
nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits...
Israeli security forces have arrested Ghaith many times in the past several years, including on suspicion of incitement, his brother Hani said.
