JERUSALEM – Israeli police have arrested 32 Palestinians in East Jerusalem, accusing them of working illegally with Palestinian security services.
The interim peace agreements stipulate that residents of Israel are not allowed to cooperate with Palestinian security forces in the West Bank.
Monday's arrests come after recent tensions between Israel and Palestinians in East Jerusalem, a region that Palestinians claim to be their capital. Israel took East Jerusalem during the 1967 Middle East War and annexed it to its capital – an initiative that is not internationally recognized.
The suspects appeared in a Jerusalem court on Monday. On Sunday, the Palestinian governor of Jerusalem was arrested on similar charges.
Police announced that all suspects would be detained until Thursday.
