Police shutter number of Palestinian bodies in Jerusalem over incitement

"A fierce battle is underway for the future and identity of Jerusalem, and every step should be taken to thwart the PA's attempts to incite residents of east Jerusalem against Israel," says Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan.

The Israel Police closed multiple Palestinian institutions last week on orders issued by Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan.

The order was given after intelligence revealed that the Palestinian Authority was operating a branch of the Palestinian Education Ministry in the Islamic al-Aytam school in Jerusalem's Old City. The branch, which operated as the Palestinian Parents Committee, was funded and run by the PA, and undermined Israel's sovereignty by inciting forceful and violent actions.

The staff was reportedly removed from the school, files were confiscated, and the school's director, Samir Jibril, was arrested.

"A fierce battle is underway here for the future and identity of Jerusalem, and every step should be taken to thwart the PA's attempts to incite residents of east Jerusalem against Israel," Erdan said in a statement. "The activity that I ordered closed constitutes an intensification in the attempts by the P.A. to interfere with the education of children in east Jerusalem and to introduce inciteful content into the Israeli education system."

Israeli intelligence and police additionally raided the office of Palestine TV and confiscated some devices, according to an employee there. The TV station was closed because it broadcast anti-Israel and anti-Zionist content that incited violence against Israel, and was also illegally funded directly by the PA, which goes against the 1993 Oslo Accords.

Security forces also closed the Arab Health Center in Jerusalem, confiscated files and surveillance camera footage from the office, and arrested its director.

Erdan has signed 10 closure orders against the PA in Jerusalem since the onset of 2019, as well as initiated a legislative amendment to make its activities within Israeli territory criminal and punishable by up to three years in prison.
