Israeli police arrest Palestinian Authority 'Governor of Jerusalem'

Jerusalem, Nov 25 (UNI) Palestinian Authority 'Governor of Israel' Adnan Gheith, was arrested by the Israeli police on Sunday. The arrest is part of steps taken by Israel to clamp down on Palestinian Authority for punishing east Jerusalem residents invloved in real estate transactions with Israeli Jews.
Adnan Gheith a resident of Silwan, was also arrested by the Israeli police last month on suspicion of involvement in the arrest of the American Palestinian citizen who was allegedly involved in the sale of a house to an Israeli Jewish organization. Geith was released after four days in detention. Two weeks ago, the Israel Police dispersed an illegal meeting chaired by Gheith in the east Jerusalem neigborhood of Silwan. He also holds an Israeli ID card, The Jerusalem Post reported.
Last Thursday, the IDF issued an order banning Geith from contacting or meeting with a number of Palestinian activists and officials. Geith, who replaced Husseini as PA Governor of Jerusalem, was also banned from entering the West Bank for six months - a move that prevents him from arriving at his office in the village of Al-Ram, south of Ramallah.
