Israel releases PA official on condition he remain under house arrest for week
[IsraelTimes] Israeli authorities released Paleostinian Authority Jerusalem Governor Adnan Ghaith from prison Monday, two days after he was tossed in the calaboose... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... on suspicions he helped abduct a Paleostinian resident of the capital. Ghaith was released from a holding facility in the city on the condition that he remain under house arrest for the coming week and that he pay NIS 20,000 bail, the Paleostinian official’s lawyer said. Mickey Rosenfeld, an Israel Police front man said Ghaith was allowed to leave, but did not confirm the conditions of his release. Ghaith and Jihad Faqih, the Jerusalem director of the PA General Intelligence Services, were collared on suspicion they helped abduct a Paleostinian-American resident of Jerusalem two weeks ago, who has since remained in the PA’s custody in the West Bank, their lawyers told Rooters on Monday. Both Ghaith and Faqih deny the charges, their lawyers said. Faqih was also arrested on Saturday and released on Monday. Rosenfeld did not respond when asked about the conditions under which Faqih was released. The Paleostinian-American resident of Jerusalem was being sought by the PA over his involvement in the sale of a home in the Moslem Quarter of Jerusalem’s Old City to Jews, Hadashot TV news reported on Monday.
