Israeli police arrested the Palestinian governor of Jerusalem and a local official of the mainstream Fatah party in dawn raids Monday in the disputed city, their lawyer said.
Police arrested governor Adnan Ghaith and the Fatah general secretary for Jerusalem, Shadi Mutour, in raids on their homes in Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem, lawyer Mohammed Mahmud said.
He said they were accused of engaging in activity on behalf of the Palestinian Authority in the city. Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said that “two representatives were arrested by police and are being questioned”, but did not confirm their names or give any further detail.
