Palestinian Authority police operated overnight in the heart of Area C, on the Beitunia bypass road in western Binyamin, despite being prohibited from operating there.<\/p>\n
The officers detained an IDF reservist who was traveling on the road toward the Dolev-Talmonim bloc and even took his military-issued weapon.<\/p>\n
Miraculously, the soldier was unharmed.<\/p>\n
The Binyamin Regional Council strongly protested a statement by the Civil Administration, which chose to point an accusing finger at the resident, claiming that he had traveled through a dangerous area, rather than addressing the prohibited activity of PA police in Area C.<\/p>\n
Binyamin Regional Council head and Yesha Council chairman Israel Ganz responded: “The serious incident overnight proves once again that the Oslo Accords have long since become a meaningless piece of paper.”<\/p>\n
“It is inconceivable that [Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud] Abbas’ police officers can operate in Area C in violation of the agreements, detain an IDF reservist and take his weapon, while the State of Israel instead blames the Israeli who was traveling on the road.<\/p>\n
“The time has come to recognize reality, cancel the Oslo Accords, and allow settlement and free movement in the open areas throughout Binyamin, Judea and Samaria. At the same time, I call on decision-makers to act immediately to open a safe and secure route between the Dolev-Talmonim bloc and Highway 443.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Palestinian Authority police operated overnight in the heart of Area C, on the Beitunia bypass road in western…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1020742,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2],"tags":[389594,408428,408427,99,50,408426,22945],"class_list":["post-1020741","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-area-c","tag-binyamin-regional-council","tag-idf-reservists","tag-israel","tag-news","tag-pa-security-forces","tag-palestinian-authority"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/117149966685308364","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1020741","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1020741"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1020741\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1020742"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1020741"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1020741"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1020741"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
