An Israeli court has rejected an appeal filed against the extension of the remand of the Palestinian governor of Jerusalem Adnan Ghaith who was detained by the Israeli occupation forces on Sunday.
Ghaith’s lawyer filed an appeal against the Israeli occupation’s decision to extend his detention until Thursday under the pretext of investigation procedures.
Ghaith was arrested on Sunday during a predawn Israeli military raid on his home in the occupied Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan. No reasons were given for the arbitrary arrest.
A number of Fatah officials were also detained overnight on Sunday during a large-scale abduction sweep launched by the occupation forces across Jerusalem city.
