Jerusalem police arrest Fatah member for funding party activities in the capital

Jerusalem Police arrest a Fatah party representative in Jerusalem for transferring funds to the Palestinian faction’s activities in Jerusalem, which is illegal under Israeli law, a police spokesperson says.

The man, age 42, is also suspected of tax offenses valued at hundreds of thousands of shekels, apparently linked to the transfers.

The suspect will face a court hearing on Friday.

The police action “prevented the illegal transfer of sums of money for illegal Fatah activities in Israel,” the spokesperson says.
