Is the PA coordinating arrests with Israel?
In light of the climaxing uprising, some claim the Palestinian Authority's security services are coordinating arrests, so that after a Palestinian suspect is released by the PA he is shortly thereafter detained by Israel.
The Palestinian arena has recently been dealing with the repercussions of an incident that suggests the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Israel exchange information on prisoners in order to prevent armed operations against Israel. On April 9, three Palestinian men were arrested in Ramallah by the Palestinian security services in coordination with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), which brought back to the minds of the Palestinians the issue of security coordination between the PA and the IDF.
On March 31, Bassel al-Araj, 33, from Bethlehem; Haitham Siyaj, 23, from Hebron; and Mohammed Harb, 19, from Jenin, who were living together in an apartment in Ramallah, went missing.
