Palestinian media reports that the Palestinian Authority’s Preventive Security apparatus in Ramallah has arrested Samir Khalila, a businessman who was recently mentioned as a candidate to serve as Gaza governor in a transitional capacity after the war.
Following media reports in early August that presented him as a US-backed candidate, Khalila clarified to several outlets that he would not take on such a role without the consent of the Palestinian Authority.
