PA Releases Four Palestinians Detained after Visiting Israeli Succa
(Jerusalem Post) Adam Rasgon - Palestinian Authority security forces on Sunday released four Palestinians who were arrested after visiting the succa of Efrat Council head Oded Revivi on Wednesday, following the intervention of the Israeli Defense Ministry. PA Deputy-Governor of the Bethlehem Governorate Muhammad Taha told Wattan TV on Thursday that "all Palestinians condemn the [visit], and visiting settlers is completely unacceptable." Before their release, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had called on the international community to pressure the PA to release the four, saying that their arrest was "yet one more proof of the Palestinian refusal to make peace."
