Palestinian Authority Targets Israeli Arabs Over Property Transactions The Palestinian Authority temporarily suspended land registration transactions involving Israeli citizens and Jerusalem residents following the purchase of eight homes near Jericho by Jews. The restriction was later lifted, but Lt. Col. (res.) attorney Maurice Hirsch, a senior researcher at the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs (JCFA), said the move exposed a contradiction in PA policy. Speaking to The Jerusalem Post, Hirsch noted that the PA considers Arab citizens of Israel part of the Palestinian people, yet used their Israeli citizenship as grounds to restrict property transactions. The case also raises questions about the PA's authority over Israeli citizens in land transactions. Join Israel online
