From Top Palestinian official seen yelling at border guards in Hebron
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSenior Fatah official Jibril Rajoub is heard getting into a verbal altercation with Border Police troops in the Old City of Hebron.
Rajoub, who was accompanying visiting Omani Foreign Minister Yussef bin Alawi on a tour of the city, shouts at a female officer: “Shut up, go to Hell!”
He is also heard shouting at another Border Police soldier that he “is crazy.”
Rajoub, member of the Fatah Central Committee and Chairman of the Palestinian Football Association, hurled the abuse in Hebrew – a language he speaks fluently thanks to the 17 years he spent in Israeli prison for security-related offenses in the 1970s and 1980s.
