Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsraeli authorities have released the Palestinian Authority’s Jerusalem Governor Adnan Ghaith from a detention center in the city, on the condition he remain under house arrest for the coming week and pays NIS 20,000 bail, the Palestinian official’s lawyer says.
Mickey Rosenfeld, an Israel Police spokesman, has confirmed that Ghaith was released, but is not responding when asked if the Palestinian official was set free on the condition he stay under house arrest and pay bail.
Israeli security forces nabbed Ghaith in Jerusalem’s Beit Hanina neighborhood Saturday evening on his way out of a family member’s wedding, the Palestinian official’s brother Hani Ghaith said in a phone call earlier this week.
