PA: Report alleging torture part of Trump plan to weaken Ramallah
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Palestinian Authority’s rights ombudsman says a Human Rights Watch report alleging abuse by both the PA and Hamas is part of a plot to weaken Ramallah as part of the US’s yet to be released peace plan.
Haitham Arar, head of human rights at the PA’s interior ministry, says the government “rejected everything in the Human Rights Watch report.”
“The report confuses politics and human rights and is consistent with the (US) Deal of the Century with the aim of weakening the PA,” Arar says, referring to Trump’s long-delayed peace plan that Palestinians fear will be biased toward Israel.
