| [IsraelTimes] Police say suspects violated Oslo-era law banning Paleostinian Authority from operating inside Israel; Top Ramallah official detained for apparently similar reasons over weekend. Israeli police tossed in the calaboose ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... 32 East Jerusalem residents overnight Sunday on suspicion that they had illegally enlisted in the Paleostinian Authority’s security forces. According to a police statement, the suspects were Israeli residents and some were receiving social benefits from the state while also serving in the PA’s armed forces. The statement said the activities were illegal under the 1994 Gazoo-Jericho agreement, a follow-up treaty to the Oslo Accords. The arrests came at the end of a covert investigation into the Paleostinian Authority’s operations inside Israel, the statement said. During searches of the suspects’ homes, police said officers uncovered tens of thousands of shekels in cash, weapons, ammunition, uniforms and various PA security forces documents. Police said the suspects were engaged in activities that "directly affect the personal safety of Israeli Arabs." The suspects were taken for questioning and were expected to be brought before a judge for a remand hearing later on Monday. The arrest raid came a day after police arrested the Paleostinian Authority governor of Jerusalem for the second time in as many months, apparently due to a PA investigation into an East Jerusalem land sale. Israel, which annexed East Jerusalem in a move not recognized internationally, almost entirely does not allow the PA to operate within Jerusalem.
