PA Police Chief Confirms Security Cooperation with Israel Restored
(Jerusalem Post) Adam Rasgon - The Palestinian Authority has completely restored security coordination with Israel, PA police chief Hazem Atallah said on Wednesday. "Everyone is coordinating now," he said. The decision was made two weeks ago. In July, PA President Mahmoud Abbas announced that security coordination was halted in response to Israel's placement of metal detectors near the entrances to the Temple Mount, which were later removed. However, Atallah said security coordination between the PA police and Israel largely never stopped. "95%, if not more, of the activities of the police were working."
